[Digikam-users] File weight different in Digikam than in other file management tools

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Marie Noelle,

This is certainly compression setup.

digiKam has a common settings panel for saving image :

For JPEG, you have quality. Set it to 100 to have the best result.

2nd setting is Choma sub-sampling. Set to None, as explained in tool
tip from my screenshot.

Best
