title: Running a separate process or thread in Qt
body: <p>I'm writing my first proper useful piece of software. Part of it will involve the user viewing an image, and choosing to accept or reject it. Doing this will cause the image to be saved to an accepted or rejected folder, and possibly rotated and/or resized.</p>
  
  <p>At the moment, my rotate/resize/save operation is pausing execution of my program, but I'd like it to happen in the background so the next image is displayed instantly.</p>
  
  <p>Is the only way to do this in Qt to process the image in a separate thread, or is there another way? I'm still getting my head round C++ and Qt, so I don't want to confuse myself by diving into a new field!</p>
