Hi Jeff,
That *is* a blemish save. No doubt.
I will assume that you checked the batch image editor for a check in BLEMISH, and it is clear.
Next I would check the filter by Right Mouse click on the thumb or the preview panel, and click on REMOVE filters,
You get a box that should show you what filters are saved. If that box is empty, then clcik the button that says Delete filter.
If that didn't clear the blemish, then go to the folder where the image sits.
Look for the filename  P953263151  (ext)  and find the matching filename with a .flt suffix. Delete that file with the .flt suffix.
That will solve it.
If that cleared it, then somehow that flt was corrupted probably because you fell asleep while working on the pictures. 
Let me know if you are successful.
Fred

Jeff, that's exactly what I wrote earlier.


Fred

Additional comment. Just wanted to say, that shot is another example of your talent.
Love it.

Good thought, Jeff.
I had a feeling that G-Jeff didn't find an flt file, and that was the frustrating part.
If he did have some blemish filter checked in Global, it would only work on images that have no prior filter; if I remember right.
So that idea you have sounds like it might fit.
If he had Print filter checked, that works even with an flt.
Fred

Jeff,
This is probably my fault.
I right clicked your image and saved it.
It had a filename starting with a p and a number which is common among Olympus and a a few other brands.
I thought that was the name of the image file.
Obviously, you must use some method of posting pictures that makes its own file names.

So to apologize, and rephrase, find the image in whatever folder you currently have the image, looking at the thumbnail in Qimage, write the file name down.
Now,close Qimage, and use Windows explorer, and locate that folder and the filename, and delete the file that shows that filename, but being careful that you don't delete the image which has a suffix of ORF, but has a suffix of .flt.

See attached screen snap, not only of an .ORF image file, but a.qrs, and a .flt ; and it happens t be *your* image from a month ago that I liked so much. The one with the river and the kayaks.
You want to delete the one that has the .flt suffix.
DO NOT delete Qimage or reinstall.
We have more remedies if you cannot find the flt, and you did make sure that there was no Global filter turned on as Jeff J suggested.
We can rename the image file, (in explorer). Instead of 00495.orf, you change it to Jeffie.orf. Now the flt file will not stick anymore.

I have one more dumb question.
You are looking at the ORF file in the Qimage screen, right?   You didn't make a JPG while the blemish was showing and now you see it all the time, right?

I'll be right here if you need more snaps.

Fred

Jeff, glad you found the source of the problem.
Camera specific settings refers Qimage Refine to use a preset input setup that YOU made and saved for your camera.
In other words, if you have two cameras and one shows more noise than the other, you can set the amount of Noise Reduction higher on the noisier camera, and Qimage will see the camera model and use the preset set of Raw options you saved for that camera.

I would put *ONE* checkmark back and have a look. See whether it has, in fact, a bad saved .qsn file.
It might be the pattern filter, but taht was for the Nikon 70S.

Please let me know what you find out.
Fred

Fred

Thanks very much, It looks like that was it.

Found the K20D.flt and deleted it.  It was created 16th July.  It must have been an accident as I don't know how to create and save such a file, just read the manual again and still cannot see how it came about.

Just a comment on my image file nos.  I used to use a Oly 8080 so raw was .orf  now use a pentax K20d and shoot raw in .dng I mostly let the camera file number remain.
When I post images to here I load them onto http://jeffmilan.zenfolio.com/ which then gives about eight size options to link to.

Thanks again to you and all.

Totally agree, you are an inspiration.
