Hi there, I have discovered there are some files that Qimage doesn't like and I can't find any indication as to why. I will post a link in here, maybe it's my computer but I have tried it on my desktop and laptop with the same results. There were some other images that were doing the same but when the last Qimage udate came out these were then viewable. The problem is that when you look at the folder in Qimage the image says 'Image Read Error'.

Here is the link - https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/docs/Earth.jpg

Thanks in advance,
Ben

This *.jpg is not a RGB-file, but an CMYK-file.
Qimage does not support CMYK-files.
Has nothing to do with Mac or Windows.
The file contains an "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" ICC-profile.

Regards,
Winfried
 

Here's the file in RGB colorspace, and SWOP colorspace.

Hey guys,

Mike told me last night what I am seeing WRT SWOP.
Yes, that is CMYK colorspace which QU can see if the image is a TIFF.
QU will not see the image in JPG format. It has something to do with the header when SWOP and JPG meet.
Since QU will read the SWOP colorspace when presented in a TIFF, therefore QU does not produce a message that SWOP is unsupported; just has to be a TIFF.
Since SWOP is not designed to print on an RGB printer and via Windows, no point to tracking it down.
Fred

Thanks Fred, if I ever need to I'll just change over the profile.

Cheers
