Yes, I already compared the different methods, with the mentioned
result.

This does result in moire patterns and other image artifacts.

Ok, I missed the plugin.

RAW images compare to the JPEGs when using Gwenview and Geeqie, but look
different when using Digicam. Probably I need to test different bit
depth with Digikam.

However, Geeqie does show how the image gets build instead of just
showing the finished build image, the GTK widget flashes when switching
windows. Gwenview and Digicam are way smoother.

I'm open to suggestions.

At the moment I tend to use Digicam and/or Gwenview.
