Managing Your Digital Image
Collection
With digiKam, it is easy to manage your digital images:
download your images from the camera, edit and improve
them, organize them in albums (or flag them with tags for
easy retrieval, independent of folders or albums), and
archive them on CD or export them to a Web image gallery.
digiKam also contains a set of useful batch functions and
plug-ins, allowing you to convert multiple images to various
different formats, rename multiple images, or automatically
improve them with functions such as red eye reduction,
speck removal, and hot pixel removal. Various filter and
effect plug-ins help create works of art from your digital
images.
To start digiKam, press Alt
first start-up, digiKam creates a custom folder in which to
store your albums.
digiKam's main window contains a tree view at the left and
shows thumbnails of the images at the right. For quick ac-
cess to your images, use the sidebar at the left, which allows
+ F2 and enter digikam. On
you to switch between different views, sorting the images
according to albums, tags, dates or searches. To enter
digiKam's viewing and editing mode, double-click an image
thumbnail.

Managing Your Music Collection

KDE's amaroK music player allows you to play various audio
formats, create playlists, import music from an iPod* (or
upload files to your iPod), and listen to streaming audio
broadcasts of radio stations on the Internet. The file types
supported depend on the engine used for amaroK.
To start amaroK, press
start, amaroK launches a First-Run Wizard with which to
define the folders where amaroK should look for your music
files.
amaroK's main window shows a sidebar on the left providing
different views: your music collection, a context browser,
your playlists, a file browser, etc. The right part of the win-
dow shows the current playlist. To play music, just drag and
drop items from any of the sidebar browsers to the playlist
area. Double-click an item in the playlist to start playback.
If your music files are properly tagged (containing at least
information about the artist and album), you can make use
of several nice amaroK features. To automatically fetch the
album cover images from Amazon, select Tools → Cover
Manager and click Fetch Missing Covers. The next time you
play a track from this album, the cover is displayed in the
context browser and on the on-screen display. To learn
more about the artist, switch to the Context browser in the
sidebar. Click the Artist tab to make amaroK search for the
appropriate Wikipedia article, which is then displayed in
the context browser. To view a track's lyrics, click the Lyrics
tab to start a search and display the results.
To configure the use of another engine (or various other
amaroK features), select Settings → Configure amaroK.
