I’ve finallly got round to making sense of my 25 years worth of folders dated yy/mm/dd (often with unhelpful names by me!). I’ve not used digiKam before. Its an amazing bit of software - the face recognition is unreal. The tagging will enable me (or others) to navigate the thousands of photos I have amassed. I realised that the vast majority I’ve not looked at since I uploaded them.
Anyway a quick question; the editing of photos looks basic but good enough for most of my needs (the resize is really slick as I need to resize for displaying on my tv via Amazon photos). Do people edit photos in digiKam or simply once tagged etc gone into darktable or Rawtherapee to edit them?
Hi,
Most of the time, I manage the catalogue with Digikam: keywords, notation, legend.
I develop with ART, especially as I learn how to use it.
That said, Digikam has useful tools, such as borders, text, etc.
I do all the organisation and metadata stuff in digikam but use darktable for raw processing. I only sometimes use digikams editing features when I want to do some basic adjustment on a sooc jpeg (usually just cropping or rescaling).
