[digiKam-users] Blurry photos with 7.3 and 7.6

[Maik Qualmann]

I did a test here with my existing ARW files. The preview of the embedded jpeg 
is blurry, that's for sure. With half the RAW preview, I don't really see any 
loss of sharpness. Maybe you should upload a sample image or email it to me. 
Are you using a 4K desktop resolution?
