QImage and scaling problems

[Kris Revi]

This is my code

void MainWindow::on_BUTTON_SELECTIMAGE_MATRIX_clicked()
{
    // Open QFileDialog and store the path in fileName
    QString filePath = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open Image"), "c\\",
                                                          tr("Image Files (*.png *.jpg *.bmp)"));

    ui->TEXT_IMG_PATH->setText(filePath); // Display the path to the image selected

    imageObject = new QImage();           // Make a new imageObject
    imageObject->load(filePath);          // Load the image from path

    if(!filePath.isEmpty())               // Check to see that a image is selected and stored in fileName
    {
        QFile f(filePath);
        QFileInfo fileInfo(f.fileName());
        QString filename(fileInfo.fileName());

        imageHandler(imageObject, filename);        // Send the Image for processing
    }
}

void MainWindow::imageHandler(QImage *img, QString fileName)
{
    if(img->size() == QSize(32, 32))
    {
        qDebug() << "[IMAGEHANDLER][INFO] 1. Image is 32x32";
    }
    else
    {
        qDebug() << "[IMAGEHANDLER][INFO] 1. Image is NOT 32x32";
        qDebug() << "[IMAGEHANDLER][INFO] 2. Resizing Image to 32x32";

        img->scaled(32, 32, Qt::KeepAspectRatio, Qt::SmoothTransformation); // Scale the image down to 32x32
    }

    QImage img2{32, 32, QImage::Format_RGB16}; // The image is stored using a 16-bit RGB format (5-6-5).
    img2.fill(QColor(Qt::black).rgb());        // Fill the new image with a black background (needs to be filled to get the correct color data)
    QPainter painter(&img2);                   // Prepare new image for painting
    painter.drawImage(0, 0, *img);             // Paint the original image onto the new image
    img2.save(fileName);                      // Save that fucker and lets move on

    // Get the color 16bit (5-6-5) color data and put it in a QVector and prepare for sending to ESP32
    QVector<quint16> RGB565;
    RGB565.reserve(img2.width() * img2.height());
    for(int y = 0; y < img2.height(); y++) {
        const quint16 *line = reinterpret_cast<const quint16*>(img2.constScanLine(y));
        for(int x = 0; x < img2.width(); x++)
            RGB565 << *(line++);
    }
}

Original Picture

what i get

so what am i doing wrong? (the size of the image is 32x32 and alpha channel is removed and replaced with a black background! that is correct! however as you can see in the right bottom corner you see alittle red from marios hat so the image did not get scaled down)

@Kris-Revi said in QImage and scaling problems:

img->scaled(32, 32, Qt::KeepAspectRatio, Qt::SmoothTransformation);

scaled() is const. it doesn't change the image but return a copy of the image scaled.
