Thanks Terry that is what I thought about the 8bit. Yes I am wanting to do significant editing outside of Qimage, and I just use prophoto as the working space to be consistent with the way photoshop is setup. I love printing from qimage but I wanted to convert some raw files and then edit them. DCraw does a bit better with the raw conversions with the X-Pro 1 than the ACR versions. So I was hoping to use Qimage Ultimate as an engine to convert and then edit normally then print in Qimage. Oh well not the end of the world but something I will have to work around.
