            Bug ID: 337691
           Summary: Select 16 Bit Depth as Default for highres jpg:
                    Standard Option or Alternative
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.1.0
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Color Management
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: buitk14 at A1.net

Many users decided to work in jpg workflow with high res cameras.
DigiKam supports 16Bit depth, but jpgs will always be opened in 8Bit
Resolution.

Suggestion 1: Default Depth for JPG should be 16 Bit (Auto-Conversion)
              - an option to open jpgs with 8 Bits is added to the settings

Suggestion 2: Default Depth for JPG should be 8 Bit 
              - an option to open jpgs with 16 Bits is added to the settings

Note: Jpgs are already transformed to 8 Bit when saving without warning. Thats
fine for me.

Reason: Most corrections need 16Bit depth for computation, one does not know
what corrections are needed when opening an image. Best choice is alwas work in
16 Bit depth with jpgs (unless very old hardware is used).
