[Digikam-users] Jpeg export changes image

Hello Digikam folks!

I just bought a Nikon D40 digital camera, and I've been shooting in RAW mode 
for a while.  I've imported the pictures into digikam, but when I go to 
export them to Jpeg, they don't appear the same as Digikam's thumbnails show 
them to be.  The jpegs seem to lose a lot of the color and warmth of the 
originals.  Is this normal?  Is there a way to change this?  I played around 
with the settings in the exporter, but I have to say its pretty much over my 
head!

Here's a couple links demonstrating the problem, the first is a screenshot in 
digikam of the RAW image, and the second is the output file after export.

Again, sorry if this is common knowledge!  I'm still pretty new to RAW 
photography.

I'm a big fan of Digikam, though!

Bill
