"QImage QImage::fromData ( const QByteArray & data, const char * format = 0 )   
[static]"

Isn't this for loading a coded (jpeg, PNG or .....) image? How would Qt know 
the size of the image?

I'm planning to return the data in a QByteArray (+ size and format info) and 
the user could use the data directly or use the convenience function. 
The "toQImage"  function would give a warning if it converts from 16bit 
colors.
 
If it actually works to trivially generate a QImage from a 3bytes/pixel 
QByteArray, alternative 1) would be the best, but as far as I can see that is 
not possible :(

There is a similar problem with grayscale :) sane returns 1 byte/pixel, while 
QImage doesn't have this mode.

Mono (black and white) should not be a problem :)
