Anyone use Qimage software

It's like $70 now. Is it worth it?

I just stumbled across it while looking for some info on my printer.
It looks interesting, but I don't know if it does anything worthwhile
that I can't do already with LR, or PS, or the camera software, etc...

nothing that can't be done as good or better with other apps. plus it
has a user interface from hell.

If you have Photoshop and Lightroom, why would you want to pay $70 for
this one trick pony kludge fest?

Well, that's direct enough.

Good. I'm always looking for reasons to not spend money.

I don't, unless it's worth it, and it's clearly not after yours and
nospam's comments. I was wondering, because it got very high praise on
some discussion group I stumbled upon. I figured someone here would
know enough about it so I could make a decision without spending a lot
of time on research.

I believe that a major claim for it was that it would scale output DPI
of an image by interpolation to the printer "native" DPI. Arguments
then ensued on forums as to why QImage was capable of doing a better job
of this that the printer maker's own driver software would.
I think probably not, nobody could produce a convincing argument as to
why it might, so I never bothered trying it myself.

Another use for it may have been for users who wanted to use a
colour-managed workflow, but were using image editing software which
didn't facilitate use of ICC printer profiles. I could be wrong, but
think QImage could be used for this.
