Hello
I am scanning pictures my wife draws analogue with crayons, some coloured and some black/white. They all base on an good and strong A4 paper. I scan them (Epson) with 2400 dpi, and receive usually files of about 4 to 7 MB as *.png files. Saved with *.tiff thei are usually over 30MB, but several tests we produced are not showing any real improvement, so we stick with the png ones.

As first handling, I save the files immediately as a Gimp-file, *.xcf, receiving more than double the *.png-file.

When I look now at these files via digiKam, I can see all files I have further manipulated like cropped to ideal format (usually eliminating white unwanted space) and trimmed the picture into the correct size for later printing. However, the original scaned *.pdf, neither the correxponding *.xcf file is shown, just a symbol shows that there is something, Klicking on it does not start anything.

I searched in Settings, Configure DigiKam, if I can find something to allow larger files but found nothing.

Can anybody help me?

Kubuntu 14.04-5, 4 core, 8gb RAM DigiKam-Version 4.0.0 (last one in my repos)
