Add:
Adding the "Convert to JPEG"-tool as suggested in the mailing archive:

http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2010-October/011373.html

and specifying there 100% quality creates a big result file but compare
shows nevertheless changes allover the image. Maybe these changes come
from the conversions jpeg -> internal format -> jpeg and the result is
acceptable for you?
