I encountered a strange problem developing a Nikon raw file with digikam 3.0.0-beta2 which did not occur under digikam 2.9: Under digikam 3.0.0-beta2 (latest version from git) a pattern of a faint rectangular lattice of fine lines occurs over the entire .JPG that was produced from the .NEF file. This does not happen when using digikam 2.9, nor do I see this pattern when developing the raw file by rawtherapee or darktable. You may view the results by downloading the original NEF and the JPGs produced by digikam 2.9 and digikam 3.0.0-beta2 from the following website: raw-file: www.robert-zeller.org/transfer/DSC0607.NEF JPG digikam 2.9 : www.robert-zeller.org/transfer/DSC0607_v2-digikam_2.9.JPG JPG digikam 3.0.0-beta2: www.robert-zeller.org/transfer/DSC0607_v1-digikam_3.0_beta.JPG Since the web-page is not open for directory search you have to specify the full urls when using wget for download. Caution: the files are huge since they were taken with a NIKON D800 which has a 36 Mpix sensor. I used the same settings in digikam 2.9 and 3.0.0 when developing the raw. I am wondering what the reason may be for this unacceptable result in 3.0.0-beta2? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.download test images from web site given in "Details" 2.use digikam image editor to develop Nikon raw image: DSC0607.NEF 3. Actual Results: digikam-3.0.0-beta2 produces a faint rectangular lattice across the entire jpg that is produced by the image editor Expected Results: no artifacts !
What interpolation settings do you use?
Also: cannot reproduce for LibRaw 0.15-Beta1/ dcraw_emu with standard quality settings (-q 0 ... -q 3)

Gilles, please find attached two screenshots of Raw_File_decoding (I used default in 16 bit) and of the Brightness/Contrast/Gamma settings. I didn't change anything else from the defaults as far as I can remember. If you need more information, please let me know. The bug seems to be persistent.

"Setup/Raw File Decoding" is ONLY used with automatization of RAW loading data in Image Editor. Go to "Behavior" tab and set on "Always open in Raw Import tool" Like this, for each Raw file open in editor, you will be able to customize RAW decoding settings. Try to change Quality settings, and look preview when artifacts. Give us the list of quality settings when dysfunction appears... Gilles Caulier
Gilles, it looks like I found out, which settings cause the artifacts: it seems to be the option "Interpolate RGB as four colors". When this option is enabled I can see the pattern of the faint rectangular grid over the picture. If I disable this option the artifacts disappear. Here is the list of options I used: Demosaicing: 16 bits color depth Interpolate RGB as four colors. Quality: AHD v2 White Balance: Method: Camera Highlights: Rebuild Correct false colors in highlights Corrections: Noise reduction: Wavelets Enable Chromatic Aberration correction Color management: CameraProfile: embedded Workspace: Adobe RGB Robert On 10/22/2012 03:31 PM, Gilles Caulier wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308489 > > --- Comment #7 from Gilles Caulier <caulier.gilles@gmail.com> --- > "Setup/Raw File Decoding" is ONLY used with automatization of RAW loading data > in Image Editor. > > Go to "Behavior" tab and set on "Always open in Raw Import tool" > > Like this, for each Raw file open in editor, you will be able to customize RAW > decoding settings.

This file is probably in relation with bug #305382 Gilles Caulier
Git commit ca11950fa5926ccfb4438d8b9cbd072370be3f0b by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 29/10/2012 at 11:55. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. - Use -O4 compilation option to optimize speed with dosaicing process. - Fix artifacts produced by libraw when OpenMP is used. This problem still present in libraw and must be fixed as DOWNSTREAM Please confirm if probelm still reproducible on your computer with this fix. Related: bug 305382 M +2 -1 libraw/CMakeLists.txt http://commits.kde.org/libkdcraw/ca11950fa5926ccfb4438d8b9cbd072370be3f0b
Gilles, I am not sure if I did it right - I am not at all an expert in cmake. I copied your new version of libraw/CMakeLists.txt from the git repository into my digikam-3.0.0-beta2/extra/libkdcraw/libraw source and recompiled the entire stuff. In this case the artefacts are persistent with the setting "interpolate RGB as four colors" during the raw decoding process. I suspect, that something else has to be done. So I copied the entire libkdcraw directory via git clone git://anongit.kde.org/libkdcraw into my source. But in this case I get compilation errors: /usr/src/packages/packages.local/digikam/digikam-3.0.0-beta2/extra/kipi-plugins/common/libkipiplugins/tools/kprawthumbthread.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void KIPIPlugins::KPRawThumbThread::run()’: /usr/src/packages/packages.local/digikam/digikam-3.0.0-beta2/extra/kipi-plugins/common/libkipiplugins/tools/kprawthumbthread.cpp:112:24: error: ‘loadDcrawPreview’ is not a member of ‘KDcrawIface::KDcraw’ make[2]: *** [extra/kipi-plugins/common/libkipiplugins/CMakeFiles/kipiplugins.dir/tools/kprawthumbthread.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [extra/kipi-plugins/common/libkipiplugins/CMakeFiles/kipiplugins.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 I think the best would be if you could point me to a complete source of digikam that contains the changes already and which can be compiled by the standard cmake / make procedures.

Robert, Do not try to compile current implementation of libkdcraw with beta2. I changed API, for other reason, and digiKAm/Kipi-plugins from beta2 will not compile with it. Look my fix it's very simple. I just add -O4 option to compile libraw source code. Take libkdcraw source code from beta2 and just add -O4 option at the right place. In CMakeLists.txt you must find something like that : FOREACH(_curentfile ${libraw_LIB_SRCS}) IF(WIN32 AND MSVC) SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(${_curentfile} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-w") ELSE(WIN32 AND MSVC) SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(${_curentfile} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-w -fPIC") ENDIF(WIN32 AND MSVC) ENDFOREACH(_curentfile ${libraw_LIB_SRCS}) In line including -fPIC option, just add -O4 at end. Recompile all, install, and test Gilles Caulier
Gilles, I re-downloaded digikam-3.0.0-beta2; and changed CMakelists.txt in extra/libkdcraw : I added -O4 in the options right after -fPIC and recompiled the source. With the demosaic option "Interpolate rgb as four colors" turned on, I don't see the artefacts any more in the sample picture that I provided to you. BUT: on another raw-picture the faint rectangular pattern is still there, which is very strange. So my guess is: -O4 does not remove completely the problem. It is clearly dependent on turning on the option "Interpolate rgb as four colors". Do you want me to provide the other raw-picture that still evaluates the dysfunction?

yes, another picture can help to hack for this new problem... Gilles Caulier
I cannot reproduce the problem using LibRaw sample application. I've tested on sample image shot with Canon 1Dmk2. Could you please provide your RAW for testing?
Gilles, Alex, please download: http://www.robert-zeller.org/transfer/DSC0630.NEF This is a Nikon D800 raw file of about 46 MB, that also shows a faint pattern of blue squares (mainly in the upper sky part of the picture) after demosaic with the following settings: Demosaicing: 16 bits color depth (libraw 0.15.0-Alpha4) Interpolate RGB as four colors Quality: Bilinear White Balance: Method : Camera Highlights: Rebuild Exposure Correction: shift (linear) 1.31 Correct false colors in highlights The artefacts vanish if I disable "Interpolate RGB as four colors" Robert On 10/29/2012 07:54 PM, Alex Tutubalin wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308489 > > --- Comment #15 from Alex Tutubalin <lexa@lexa.ru> --- > I cannot reproduce the problem using LibRaw sample application. > I've tested on sample image shot with Canon 1Dmk2. > > Could you please provide your RAW for testing? >
