Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.92) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I think that the user should not by default loose data when editing pictures. Hence the default-value for Jpeg-quality should be 100% and not 75%.
I think this bug report isn't correct. 1 / JPEG isn't a lossLess image file format. 2 / LossLess file format is PNG or TIFF. 3 / Jpeg compression factor to 100% isn't lossless. 4 / Jpeg is dedicaced to web publish, not image edition. If you want more information about image file format supported in digiKam, please take a look in current handbook (0.8.0 from svn). Regards Gilles Caulier

Hi Joern, Because 100% compression factor isn't loosless and because the file sizes will be very increased. There is a risk to have any users to report this point like a bug (:=). Notes: - Look like Gimp and photoshop use 75% compression factor by default. - Provide LoosLess Jpeg compresion in digiKam request new Jpeg codec in image editor. This is can be done when we will use DImage API instead imlib2 for example. Gilles

Or make it a wish to introduce lossless-jpeg. :)
Right. Please make a new wish in B.K.O about it. I close this file. Gilles
