Comment 2 for bug 580902

I've been tracking this kind of problem for over a year. Now I'm on Ubuntu (Gnome) 10.04 and running DigiKam upgraded. I can't seem to get through a string of changes, in the Editor, without this manner of crashing/lock-up; on either doing a process, Like Local Contrast, or clicking OK to apply changes, and go back to the main Editor window.

Speed has also been dragging, while applying changes.

Noise reduction (or Restoration) is sluggish (compared to main stream options on my same hardware) and takes away to much detail comparatively.

I suggest changing, "... like a professional photographer", in the starting popup, to "professionally" WHEN these issues are resolved, and passed through to Ubuntu.
