Is QImage able to open and render pure 16-bit images?

Question

I think the headline already explains what I want to know.
Is there a possible way to open and save images with 16-bit with Qt? And I don\'t mean the 3*8=24bit or 4*8=32bit,

Answer 1

As others already mentioned, there is no format with 16 bits per component supported in Qt for now.

However there is a request opened to implement this, with a patch attached: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-45858

Not sure what is the status of this, and if it will get integrated.
