Batch RAW-Conversion to jpg leads to unusable jpg / tiff when using all kernels

Hello,

I have a problem which exists from digikam 5.20 to digikam 5.70.

I really do batch conversion of NEF-rawfiles very often. The cameras are
a D300, a D500, a D5300 and a D5500. The problem exists with every camera.

My batch processing has the following workflow:

- lens correction (according to the lens I used, Nikon 24-120, Tamron
16-300, Tamron 17-50, Tamron 24-70 and Tamron 70-200)

- noise reduction

- local contrast

- sharpening

- BCG

- save as jpg (same problem with save as tiff)


First of all I check the files for the used lens, All pics of the same
lens go to one queue. So there is a queue named 17-50 which holds all
pics taken with the Tamron 17-50.

Then I use the tabs of the queue defintions (lower left part of teh
screen), select the export directory, set the rename options, and when I
use teh point: use all kernels on the third tab it leads to jpg /tiff
which only consists of colors. It is independent whether I work with the
computer during batch conversion or let it work without having any open
program.

What I did to find out why it happens:

- step by step i removed the tools from the workflow. For example the
first step was to remove BCG, but the error exists. The second test was
to remove Sharpening, then local contrast, then noise reduction and then
lens correction. But nothing helped.

The good jpg file has a size of about 5 MB the unusable file has a size
of about 25 MB ?!
