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.
digiKam is not yet available as a KDE 4 application, but you
can use the KDE 3 version of digiKam on your KDE 4 desk-
top. To start digiKam, press
On first start-up, digiKam creates a custom folder in which
to store your albums.
