The documentation for QImage lists the supported file types, and SGI 
isn't one of them. You're going to need to convert your SGI file to a 
supported data type of QImage, or you need to find an library that can 
read SGI files (how you will map that into Qt is the hard part, and it 
will likely depend on the library's representation of the SGI file)
