Comment (by Coatman):

 The Quantum GIS Downloads web page offers 2 flavors of QGIS version 1.0.0
 -Kore-preview2 for Mac OS X.  I have downloaded, installed, and used both.
 Unfortunately, both improperly display corrupt colors for JPEG2000 images,
 that are properly geo-referenced, and displayed with the proper number of
 columns and rows.  This serious problem was reported here 10 months ago,
 and is extremely well documented at this web site
 http://homepage.mac.com/gregcoats/jp2.html

 I was delighted that early releases of QGIS properly displayed JPEG2000
 images.  I strongly urge QGIS management to halt its practice of knowingly
 releasing versions of QGIS that display corrupt colors for JPEG2000
 images, and to quickly restore to QGIS the ability to properly display the
 colors in JPEG2000 images.  I have waited 10 months, and I have offered
 $2,500.00 for a version of QGIS, compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.5 and
 Kakadu 6.1.1, that would, like the early versions of QGIS, simply properly
 display the colors in JPEG2000 images, but QGIS remains unable to properly
 display JPEG2000 images.
