[Digikam-users] Raw converter: no exif, only 8bit

Duing a libtiff limitation to support Exif informations, we cannot store at
this moment all Exif informations (Makernote meatadata included). Ther eis
no issue with libtiff about this problem...

In the near future, next Exiv2 library will support Tiff file in writting
mode. All will be solved by this way...

This is why i don't use tiff file format to convert RAW file without lost
metadata. I use everytime PNG witch support loss les compression like tiff.

The PNG support in digiKam is the best actually. Try it. All metadata are
save in PNG using the same way than ImageMagick do. Like this, if you
post-process this file using ImageMagick (to convert for example), nothing
will be lost (about metadata)
