Version: 1.5-beta2 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: Target: x86_64-suse-linux OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13-15.8-default Start krita and I see this jpg in preview with wrong colors. If I open this image.. the colors are correct. Attachment follows..
ok.. I can't upload this file because it's to big
Is that a cmyk jpeg? See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105006, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35420. I think this is not a Krita bug, but a kfile-plugins one.
yes.. correct.
I'll mark this bug a duplicate of the kfile-plugins bug. Maybe Brad knows how to fix it there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105006 ***
Mmmm, Bug 35420 you mentioned is marked wontfix because this is supposed to be a bug in libjpeg. This is not really a bug, but a problem with Photoshop JPEGs which are the most common CMYK JPEGs unforunately. On this URL: http://ou800doc.caldera.com/en/jpeg/libjpeg.txt it is explained that they will never fix this, because it would break other applications. They recommend that the problem is fixed outside libjpeg. I only know this has sth. to do with the so called Adobe "APP14" marker inside JPEG files. If present, it has to be inverted by the application. It certainly isnt useful if KDE says they wontfix it because it has to be fixed in libjpeg and libjpeg says it must be fixed in KDE. Hope this is helpful to overcome the deadlock. Dont know who must be informed of this, so I'm noting it down here for the record ;-)
Since Krita uses libjpeg to read those files, and does so quite well, I'd argue that the problem is with kde. It should be easy enough to fix.
