> What are the requirements of LT? Do we need 16bit? Do we need CM?
> If we do not need neither 16bit nor color management, QImage is still a good format. This is even more true if loading the full image is only an option, e.g. offered at high zoom rates (I could imagine that for preview as well, btw).


Presumably 16Bit and Color Management are not needed.
If there is a way to load the full size image in the background,
and to display that from a certain zoom-level on,
this would of course be fantastic -
The light-table would feel as fast as right now,
but offer the full size view ``just in time''.
(I think that picasa does something like this, at
least there is a short message "Refining", when
selecting and zooming into an image).

And yes: it might be also useful for the preview
(and maybe even for the image editor itself?)

Best, Arnd
