           Summary: digikam appears to add a color profile for printing?
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Image Editor
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: simon margo student utwente nl


Version:           0.9.4rc1 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) 
OS:                Linux

For some reason, when I edit a photo in digikam's editor, a lot of the times (perhaps all of the times) the photo will have problems printing at profotonet.nl. The last time I had this problem, I discussed this with profotonet and it seems they could see a second colour profile in the jpg. On the screen, the image looks perfectly normal. I still have to do more tests and I need to find the right pictures to upload as examples. I don't know how to interpret a JPEG image regarding colour profiles :-(

A workaround for this is not to use digikam's editor for editing and use the gimp (2.4.5) instead.

I suppose any information regarding what happens with colour profiles in digikam could be useful to unravel this bug...

Cheers

Simon
