When adding a watermark to a jpeg image using Batch Queue Manager and saving the file results in a very much reduced file size. A 6.7MB original jpeg image processed in this way ends up being saved as a 1.2MB image even with a jpeg compression value of 100%.The process using BQM should result in an image of about 6.2MB (which is what imagemagick and GIMP achieve). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a jpeg image 2.Enter BQM and select watermark 3. Select to save as a new file name 4. Run queue Actual Results: Original image was 6.7mb Resulting image saved is 1.2MB Expected Results: If the same watermark operation is done manually in edit within digikam the resulting file size is 6.2MB. This is 100% repeatable and effectively means the BQM is unusable for watermarking images and maintaining quality of image.
Maik, This entry is solved with you last changes in BQM ? Gilles
Gilles, Yes, the same problem with the settings for compression when saving the images. Maik
