           Summary: quality setting for jpegs saved by raw converter is
                    insanely high
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: lurch gmx li


Version:           0.9.3rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The raw converter saves jpegs with a quality setting of 100, but uses subsampled color channels at the same time. this results in JPEGs larger than the original raw files (7-10MB for 8MPixels images). Please either change the quality setting to 99 (90% size reduction, neglegible quality loss - its lossy anyways) or use the settings from digikam configuration.
