digiKam is an advanced digital photo management application for
|
|
KDE, which makes importing and organizing digital photos a "snap".
|
|
The photos are organized in albums which can be sorted chronologically,
|
|
by folder layout or by custom collections.
|
|
|
|
You tag your images which can be spread out across multiple folders,
|
|
and digiKam provides fast and intuitive ways to browse these tagged
|
|
images. You can also add comments to your images. digiKam makes
|
|
use of a fast and robust database to store these meta-informations
|
|
which makes adding and editing of comments and tags very reliable.
|
|
|
|
An easy-to-use interface is provided that enables you to connect
|
|
to your camera and preview, download and/or delete your images.
|
|
Basic auto-transformations can be deployed on the fly during image
|
|
downloading.
|
|
|
|
Another tool, which most artists and photographers will be familiar
|
|
with, is a Light Table. This tool assists artists and photographers
|
|
with reviewing their work ensuring the highest quality only. A
|
|
classical light table will show the artist the place on the images
|
|
to touch up. Well in digiKam, the light table function provides
|
|
the user a similar experience. You can import a photo, drag it onto
|
|
the light table, and touch up only the areas that need it.
|
|
|
|
The digiKam Image Editor has its own plugin subsystem with some
|
|
common tools e.g. red eye correction or Gamma correction. Additional
|
|
plugins are provided with the main application to process advanced
|
|
corrections on image like color management, noise reduction, or
|
|
special effects. digiKam Image Editor supports all camera RAW file
|
|
formats, 16 bits color depth, Exif/Makernote/IPTC/GPS metadata,
|
|
Color management, tagging/rating/comments pictures, etc.
|
|
|
|
A stand-alone image editor version named ShowFoto is also available.
|
|
It runs without digiKam images database support, but provides all
|
|
Image Editor functions.
