Description tcarthy 2011-05-31 20:32:16 UTC

Version:           1.8.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I import images in jpeg format and in editing use free-rotate to adjust alignment. However, in the past couple of weeks this has been producing  splatterings of white pixels in areas which should be near black. I have needed to  use other applications such as Gimp or Showfoto as a workaround

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Rotate photo with very dark and light areas. Only rotating 1-3 degrees

Actual Results:  
Speckled white areas appear where object should be at its darkest - eg brown leather settee suddenly has white areas where dark seems should be.

Expected Results:  
I expected simple rotation and cropping without the introduction of white pixels in areas which should be dark

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc

The phot has been rotated, producing the speckled effect in darker areas

I see your point. The speckled effect appears when in edit mode but I see it 
is not there when I look in view mode. Most disconcerting. This did not happen 
when editing other photos a couple of weeks prior.

Can you take a look of image editor in the situation ?

Do you have enable under/over exposed indicators ?

Thank you for that insight. I never realized there was such a setting. I 
notice that the highlighting seems to show after rotation, usually. I changed 
the colour to red and then unticked the indicator. So that' me told.

Thanks again.

On the bottom/right corner of editor, in status bar, you will see 3 push buttons. Two of these are used to turn on/off over/under exposure indicators. The 3rd is used to switch color management.
