As it works fine with Qimage and Photoshop, and has problems only with
QTR I doubt if its alignment (and especially so as at the time I first
reported this in January it also worked fine with QTR on Linux, though
I can't test this now as I no longer have a Linux setup)

I will rerun the alignment tests later
