I just found out that if I hit cancel right after the raster size to be created is displayed, the color correction calculation has already started and I have to wait tens of minutes until it finishes. Or maybe I have to wait until the raster builds. Either way I hit cancel 20 minutes ago, and it's still chugging away as I type this.
This is sort of an "additive" bug, since it wouldn't be a problem for me except I already know that the jpg is going to fail, since the max dimension is greater than 65535, but before color correction came around, I used to be able to cancel raster creation once I saw the grid was too big. Now color correction starts right away, and apparently I have to wait until that's done. ugh.
--edit - I posted the logfile below to illustrate my issue. Bold underlined is what told me to hit cancel (max dimension was 75862, which will cause a .jpg raster build to fail after going through all the motions) Bold is what I saw sitting on the screen after I hit cancel. (last thing showing was "collecting control points..."
