Title: Image Read Error
Post by: richard cooper on July 28, 2009, 04:58:49 PM
I have composed several panoramic images and qimage gives me a "Image Read Error".
These are TIF files of about 160MB.
How do I build thumbs or will qimage do it?
I am using the studio ed.
Thanks
Richard

Please see the attached screen snap and resave the TIF according to the parameters shown there.
Qimage is not bothered by that file size.
It needs to see a TIF saved according to standards.
Let us know please, if this fixes it.
Fred

Fred, I followed your instructions.
But I did 1 TIF file and 1 JPEG file.
Only the JPEG file appears as a thumb but not the TIF file.
However, both files will opens in the full page editor.

The JPG has no bearing on the problem.
If you are certain that the settings I posted were followed, then make sure there are no alpha channels saved. I think that spoils the save too.
I wish it was a smaller file. I would ask you to send it to me.

I get that very infrequently (mostly no problem) when I send very large TIFFs to Qimage from Nikon Capture NX2.

I rectify the problem by removing the problem image from the queue and forcing a refresh/rebuild of the thumbs.

Thanks Fred .... I omitted the crucial lines!

F5 - Refresh
Ctrl/F5 - Rebuild
