Hello,
I just compiled DK 4.2.0 on openSUSE 13.1 . There were no compilation problems. BUT: as compared to DK 4.1.0 I see on some photos a relatively strong artifact (moirée) on regular structures. Also I have the impression that the pictures are not loaded in full resolution. These artifacts seem to disappear when using the image editor. Is there a way to remove the moiree patterns? or to force DK to load pictures in full resolution? Best regards, Robert _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
Can you take a shot and share a screenshot ?
Problem is not visible here. Also, share some files to test here... Gilles Caulier 2014-08-06 0:00 GMT+02:00 Robert Zeller <[hidden email]>: > Hello, > > I just compiled DK 4.2.0 on openSUSE 13.1 .

Gilles,
the files are too big to be sent by email. Please download the screenshot and the original jpg from my web page: screenshot: www.robert-zeller.org/transfer/DK-4.2.0-artifact-shot.jpg (see the strange pattern in the dome of the mosque and the poor resolution) original: www.robert-zeller.org/transfer/0012-SR-2014_05_06_170343.jpg (file is about 15 MB) I don't see this behavior in previous versions of DK Best regards, Robert On 08/06/2014 12:06 AM, Gilles Caulier wrote: > Can you take a shot and share a screenshot ? > > Problem is not visible here. > > Also, share some files to test here... > > Gilles Caulier > > 2014-08-06 0:00 GMT+02:00 Robert Zeller <[hidden email]>: >> Hello, >> >> I just compiled DK 4.2.0 on openSUSE 13.1 .

Gilles,
one more information on this issue: my jpgs are 36 Mpx big. To show the entire photo on my screen a zoom factor of 18% is used. If I zoom in to 50% or 100% the artifacts disappear. To me it looks like the problem is caused by the algorithm that reduces the picture view size to the screen size. I still have a copy of DK 4.1.0 which does not show this misbehavior. Something must have been changed between the two versions. Using Gimp I don't get any artifacts, however the Gnome Image viewer eog also produces the same kind of artifacts as DK 4.2.0. I came across one other issue in DK 4.2: When using : settings --> configure and switching between the different items in the configure menu, DK responses become extremely slow, and DK is using a lot of CPU power and it is not possible to cancel the configure window. What is the guy doing? Best regards, Robert On 08/06/2014 08:42 AM, Robert Zeller wrote: > Gilles, > > the files are too big to be sent by email.

Problem not reproducible here with your image.
There is an option in Setup/Album View to switch preview in full or reduced size of image. Libjpeg provide a way to reduce image size at loading time. Screen resolution is used to estimate image size to load. See my screenshot here : https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/14835172186/ Here option is disabled. So reduced image size is loaded. Compared to image editor on the right, image is smooth but do not have any artefacts has you describe. However, as i use WQHD flat screens, perhaps i'm not on the right context to validate. With 4.2.0 release we have introduced a new code to handle HQ screen resolution has retina display from Apple. Entry in bugzilla is this one : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337231 I check this code under Linux, OSX and Windows with different screen sizes, and all work fine. Perhaps screensize returned by your system is wrong. I recommend to post a comment in this bugzilla file to have feedback from original contributor and start investigations... In all cases, the turn over on your system is to turn on option in setup panel for the moment. Note : you are not alone with this problem.

Gilles, thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have to downgrade to
DK 4.1.0 which did not have the problem. As you suggested I filed a comment in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337231 Best regards, Robert On 08/08/2014 12:11 PM, Gilles Caulier wrote: > Problem not reproducible here with your image. > > There is an option in Setup/Album View to switch preview in full or > reduced size of image. > > Libjpeg provide a way to reduce image size at loading time.

Gilles, unfortunately not. When I turn on preview-full-size-of-image, I
get the artifacts and also the grainy preview. The only way to get rid of it, is to zoom in to more than 50%. But then I don't have full control over the entire picture. If I go to preview-reduced-size-of-image, I don't see the artifacts and also the preview is smooth, but then zooming in to 100% I loose most of the high resolution that the 36 Mpx image has by its very nature. It wouldn't be a problem if I just used DK to organize my photos, but I frequently try to improve them by using the DK editor where I need full control over the results. That's why I reverted to DK 4.1.0 which works perfectly both in reduced and in full view.

Jonas,
It looks as if I have a solution to this problem: I removed .kde4/share/config/digikamrc and started the DK setup process from scratch. Since then the DK configure window does not hang any more ; I am currently using DK 4.1.0 Regards, Robert On 08/09/2014 09:42 AM, Jonas Norlander wrote: > 2014-08-06 14:17 GMT+02:00 Robert Zeller <[hidden email]>: >> Gilles, >> >> I came across one other issue in DK 4.2: When using : settings --> >> configure and switching between the different items in the configure >> menu, DK responses become extremely slow, and DK is using a lot of CPU >> power and it is not possible to cancel the configure window.

I just discovered that by starting the digikam setup process from
scratch I switched to an sqlite database. Before that I was using Mysql. I now tried to migrate the sqlite database to mysql . The migration process crashes. So I suppose there is some problem with the mysql schema since DK 4.1.0 which causes the hang of the DK configure menu. I will stay with sqlite until this problem has been resolved.
