[Digikam-users] Editing RAW-converted PNGs and then saving for Web

[Ari El]

If in showfoto I try Color > Color Management, then select
Input = embedded (which is widegamut in my case)
then if I attempt to change the Working Space to srgb (my default is
widegamut), the resulting image colors as displayed in my PC Monitor change
a lot which is telling me that Digikam is not doing a conversion but simply
reassigning the Workspace profile.

Just found that Krita, same as Gimp, can "convert" the image's current space
to any other icc profile; after the conversion is done still looks nearly
the same in the PC monitor. Still need this Conversion inside digikam though
because I prefer using digikam's sharpen & down sampling, and going to krita
before those would break the workflow.
