This has nothing to do with the quality scan. You're probably using the quick preview, which uses an embedded preview in the image. Go to the digiKam settings under View -> Preview and select the full image as the preview (automatic). It's also conceivable that the quality scan results in a reduced preview in the cache that is displayed. However, I can't reproduce it here quickly. A sample image would be helpful, along with your exact preview settings. Maik
Okay, you're writing metadata to RAW images with ExifTool, but this is changing the preview image. But this isn't resolved after a restart. Immediately disable writing metadata to RAW files. We'll investigate... Maik
