Managing Your Digital Image
Collection
Managing digital photographs in Linux is very straightforward. KDE's digiKam
downloads your images directly from your camera. It helps you organize and manipulate
your images to get the best possible result to present to others. The application includes
several useful plug-ins that can convert your images to various different formats. Image
improvement plug-ins also include red eye reduction, speck removal and hot pixel re-
moval. Various filter and effect plug-ins help create little works of art from your digital
images.
Start digiKam from the main menu or by pressing Alt + F2 and entering digikam. On
start-up, digiKam shows a window with two main areas: a list of your albums to the
left and the images in the current album to the right. See
Figure 19.1, "The Main Window
of digiKam"
(page 244). The rightmost edge of the window has the Tag Filter, which
can be used to filter the amount of images displayed in the main view using tagging
information. For details about tagging in digiKam, refer to
Section 19.5, "Managing
Tags"
(page 247).
