Due to limitations on QW pdf engine I am now fixing product database image sizes at 250pixels width - please please devs ;o)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway...this workflow is an interesting and once set up 'autopilot'
Video attached shows QW 'customized menu' web search
that uses the manufacture part number to get me product info fast...
Note: First I turn off add item assistant in my preferences ;o)
I then push an entire product database into a new quote.
In this case (as shown on the video) I prepare to process ~130 item shortlisted product database and I work in tandem with capture fixed 'pixel-area' screenshot tool.
So...
!! Another tip i can give if using this sort of screenshot workflow
to get images into your QW database at fixed size and framed perfectly is use a tool like 'picpick' in conjuction with the "+- zoom" feature on your internet browser sometimes !!

Other smart approaches:
Sometimes I just download hir-res images from manufacturers
websites and then run through 'batch processing'
www.irfanview.com - highly recommended (and free).
