digiKam is an advanced digital photo management application for KDE, which makes importing and organizing digital photos a "snap". The photos can be organized in albums which can be sorted chronologically, by directory layout or by custom collections. Tired of the directory constraints? Don’t worry, digiKam also provides tagging functionality. 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-information which makes adding and editing of comments and tags very reliable. digiKam makes use of KIPI plugins for lots of added functionality. KIPI (KDE Image Plugin Interface) is an initiative to create a common plugin infrastructure for digiKam, KimDaBa, Showimg, and GwenView. Its aim is to allow development of image plugins which can shared among KDE graphical applications. 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 operate on the fly during pictures downloading. The digiKam Image Editor has its own plugin subsytem which some core plugins (for eg, redeye correction) provided with the main application. Additional plugins are available from DigiKamImagePlugins. These plugins provide new image enhancement options like color managment, image filters, or special effects. A stand alone image editor version named ShowFoto is also available. This one run without digiKam images database support, but support all Image Editor plugins.
