Batch white balancing

Hi,

does someone know a way to do white balancing in batch? I already found
out how to save a white balancing profile with the editor and want to
apply it to a series of pictures now.

This is not yet coded. But this way still in my mind.

In fact with release 0.9.1, all image editor plugins settings can be saved in a config file. I have do it to be abbel to use it later with a Batch process tool included directly in digiKAm core (not a kipi-plugins) for example apply a filter from editor in batch mode.

My idea is to use a container of image (something like the new Light Table included with 0.9.2 release do) and set for all items a list of actions to apply in batch. BibblePro has a tool to do something like that.

By this way, you place in the Batch queue a list of pictures from any albums, and you set to apply WB adjustment + refocus to these images using you settings files saved from editor.

Hi Gilles,

sounds like we are expecting a great leap towards more productivity.

Actually, I know Bibblepro well and really like the approach. But I
think it's more the other way round: First you adjust the parameters for
a certain filter on a single image. Then you can deliberately
copy-and-paste filter parameters to other images. The copy-and-paste is
very fine grained and configurable. For example, you can copy all filter
settings at once or all color-related filters or even just the
white-balancing.

Finally you start a batch job, which applies all filters to all images
with the settings made earlier. This asynchronous approach saves you
plenty of time. Another advantage is the last settings for each image
are always preserved in a .bib file. This is one configuration file per
image.

But I fear, this is at the moment very different from the user interface
approach in digikam. However, let's see the lighttable first. I'm really
looking forward ;-)

Martin.

Few months ago I read about common framework for KDE4 regarding
recording of actions. It it was not dropped it should be possible just
to record action and perform it on any number of images.

Gilles,

Something I've been meaning to suggest for a while, but your comment sparked
me to action :-)

Is it possible to record the actions taken on an image in its metadata?  As an
almost exclusive RAW shooter, I have a lot of converted images hanging around
that I know came from a RAW, but I can't track how they came into being.  It
would be nice to be able to look at the image's metatdata and see things
like:
- source image path
- conversion program (digikam, ufraw, etc.)
- white balance parameters
- input profiles
- etc.

Thanks for your consideration!

Paul
