Title: Two problems
Post by: Terry-M on June 21, 2009, 09:35:24 PM
Mike,
I've come across 2 problems today.
1. When I convert an image and check to convert to another colour space, I get an error message "I/O Error 6". The process has to be cancelled; a new image is produced but with very muted colours.
I rebooted but the problem persisted.
If no colour space conversion is done, there is no problem.

2. If I use a cutout-frame filter on an image and make an e-mail copy, the frame is applied twice. Eg. if it's a drop shadow, the result is 2 drop shadows, one outside the other.
The full screen view is ok.
If the image is converted, then all is ok too, just one frame.

Terry.

(1) Sounds like your lcms.dll file has become corrupted.  Use Explorer to delete lcms.dll from your \program files\qimage folder (or wherever you have Qimage installed) and reinstall the latest version.

(2) I'm not able to replicate any problem like that here.  Are you doing anything else other than a cutout?

Now sorted, thanks.

Attached is batch screen image.
Edit, have now attached resulting e-mail copy.

I think you probably have "honor print crops" checked on your email/web copies dialog.  Uncheck that and it'll work fine.  With that checked, it's applying the cutout on the print and then also via the image.  I'll fix that but in the mean time, just uncheck that option.

OK.  The fix for the double application of cutouts is in 262:
