>From the docs:

    By default, resources are accessible in the application under the same
file name as they have in the source tree, with a :/ prefix, or by a URL
with a qrc scheme.

   For example, the file path :/images/cut.png or the URL
qrc:///images/cut.png would give access to the cut.png <snip>


As I understand it, QImage doesn't take a URL, it takes a file path, so you
need to use the ':/thing' form. This does not access the "outside" (?) file
system. I would tend to agree with Pete-- that a path starting with a colon
is enough of a hint that an embedded resource is used.
