Bug ID: 384182
Summary: Combining JPEG and RAW in thumbs view
Product: digikam
Version: 5.7.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Albums-Group
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: djse...@home.nl
Target Milestone: ---
I've read most of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126149 but this
discussion is from quite a while back and marked as RESOLVED FIXED. Let's see
where we are now.
Recently I started to shoot in RAW, but I keep the JPEGs also. I saw that
digiKam shows both thumbs, which is a bit annoying of course.
My reasons for shooting both JPEG and RAW are:
1. When on holiday I shoot 120 photos per day average (which probably isn't
even that much). I don't have time to process every RAW file to a fully
developed nice looking picture. Only the best shots I process and export to
TIFF/PNG/etc. While I still have all the RAWs, there probably comes a time
where I will delete the RAWs I didn't process and keep the JPEGs for the photos
that are nice but not awesome enough to process their RAWs. So, time wise I
can't shoot RAW only.
2. Then you say: "But the RAW already contains the JPEG inside!" Yes that is
true. digiKam proved this by showing the same image for the RAW preview
compared to the JPEG. BUT:
a) The quality of the in RAW embedded JPEG is lower than the standalone JPEG.
b) While digiKam easily displays the embedded JPEG, other programs I use, like
the Windows build in ones, they try to process the RAW instead of showing the
embedded JPEG. And at trying to process, well, the often fail.
Having an option to display only one thumb with option to indicate that a JPEG
and RAW version are available would be nice.
A solution could be to move the RAWs to their own tree, maybe even outside the
album collection.
