Description Stefan Brüns 2007-12-18 15:34:45 UTC 
Version:           0.9.3rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The raw converter saves jpegs with a quality setting of 100, but uses subsampled color channels at the same time. this results in JPEGs larger than the original raw files (7-10MB for 8MPixels images). Please either change the quality setting to 99 (90% size reduction, neglegible quality loss - its lossy anyways) or use the settings from digikam configuration.

The affected line is in branches/extragear/kde3/libs/kipi-plugins/rawconverter/rawdecodingiface.cpp, line 246

Trunk is affected as well
