[Leica] Imageprint newbie page rotation

[Lew Schwartz]

I want to do this because when I make a 10x15 print of a landscape on
13x19 paper, I don't want to have to twist my neck 90 degrees in order
to eyeball what I'm doing. Tech support at ColorByte confirms that
there's no way to change the orientation. They are worried that their
customers might become confused  the printer lead edge moved to screen
right rather than screen bottom.

Here's why I want to do this:
1. There's more elbow room for setting the black point than in LR
2. I want to print title and my name under each image ... can't do
this easily in LR, and turning everything 90 degrees in IP is a PITA.
3. I will experiment with the split toning capabilities. They are way
more sophisticated than LR.

Both products are seriously lacking in the annotation dept. In LR, I
guess you make multiple virtual copies ... but how do you tell one
from another w/o studying the panel settings? This is especially
annoying when you're evaluating slight changes in a single control,
plus it's too easy to absently mindedly change one of them when you're
casually considering what-would-happen-if's. I try to print on paper
big enough to keep notes in the margins.
