Digital BW, The Print

This thread is really old (started in 2001), but the idea that QImage
might be modifying the "original" image files concerned me. That would
be a huge no-no in my books. I had a few monchrome images I needed to
proof, so I ran a test, using QImage v2009.107. I normally just leave
my momochrome images as 16 bit RGB, but for my test, I changed the
mode on a couple to 16 bit grayscale.

The 16 bit grayscale images wouldn't disply at all in QImage. I had to
change them to 8 bit grayscale to be able to preview them. This isn't
a problem for me at all in practice, but its interesting and would
obviously be a problem for the original poster.

More importantly (to me), after making my prints, I checked, and noted
that QImage had not modified my "original" files in any way.
