Justan,
I have to echo Terry's comments.
Qimage Ultimate tries to conform to the standard set throughout the world for Color Management and has set the bar for excellence much higher than your Photo Shop.
You must read this post from Mike Chaney to understand that "might does not make right".
Just because Photo Shop likes to portray itself as omnipotent you do not have to close your mind.
They make mistakes. You see the mistakes, and then blame the incompatibility of *their* peculiar and aberrant save routine on Qimage?

As you can see, and by what Terry tried to explain, in order to save many people from having color profile problems when saving or creating a file in PS, Mike made a work around fix.
As you can see from the post, it is likely that PS will fix *their* blunder, and it will be corrected in the CS6 and you will likely pay for that fix included in the price of CS6.

Best to you

Fred,

Thank you for your comments.

Many years ago I worked as a consultant to a company that made a product named Desqview. This was a multi-tasking operating system  that pre-dated Windows.

Desqview had to get along with a large number of other programs. This was a daunting technical challenge, to say the least. Their solution was to buy most programs (and get the program vendors to send to them, when possible) and see how the program might have problems with Desqview and then to solve the problems. They also had on-going contact with a number of program vendors, to show the vendors how they could make their programs not only get along but to take advantage of the OS. They were very successful with these approaches.

Qimage is in a similar situation to what I described above. I'm sympathetic to the potential issues that you as a developer must face, and acknowledged with my own hard earned money that Qimage is in fact do a good program. I have looked no further since purchasing the program and don’t intend to.

But still, Qimage would do an even greater job if this seemingly innocuous file would have printed as easily in Qimage as it did in Photoshop.

If you’d like to see the file, let me know where I can send it, but as stated, it’s rather large.

Respectfully,

Justan

I can tell by reply #4 above this is not a Qimage issue.  You only have 256MB of memory available to Windows.  You can't load a 500MB file if you only have 256MB of RAM.  Usually only old clunker XP computers have memory that low.  You said the image is 17195 x 3693 pixels.  That's only 190MB.  If your file size is truly 490MB, that means there's a lot of extraneous (probably unreadable) fluff in that file, stuff that is probably not standard and if you're geting 490MB for a 17195 x 3693 pixel image, it's definitely not flattened.  Have you tried saving as a max quality JPEG just to try that as a test?  Adobe hasn't "defiled" the JPEG format, adding non-standard options like they have the TIFF format... at least yet.  Wink

Edit: I had to edit this post to make more sense above because I missed some posts/history initially.

Mike
