           Summary: typo English documentation docbook
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: thetrashcan earthlink net


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51) gcc-4.1.1-51.fc6 - Fedora Core 6
OS:                Linux

In the opening screen for the digikam program "Welcome to digiKam 0.9.1-beta1
photograhs should be photographs

graphics/doc/digikamimageplugins/whitebalance.docbook
Is it possible that images are reversed in inaction-plugin-whitebalance.html? Corrected image is blue, #1 original image seem to be corrected.

graphics/doc/digikamimageplugins/infrared.docbook
I do not understand the NOTE. IS the author trying to indicate the task is easy (no nonsense)
...this is a no nonsense way to try to simulate...  OR
...this is an easy way to try to simulate...

Below is an "svn diff". I have not yet finished with showfoto.docbook. Some changes are to the correct word witch -> which; ply -> play; doted -> dotted. Others are matching singular subject to singular verbs. Some changes just sound better to me. I am assuming American English and spelling. Certainly there could be mistakes introduced by me, but I hope you will find the svn diff helpful. Please contact me if needed.

I will submit other English changes for your consideration shortly. Thank you for your work.

                         The approach is dead easy: whilst taking your pictures just keep a GPS device running and carry it around with the camera. Once you are done, download the pictures and the GPS tracks, and run the above plugin. It will correlate the data in the time domain; so it is important that the camera be accurate in its clock setting (the GPS device is always accurate through the satellites). The positional accuracy interpolated from the track points can be as good as 20 meters. Of course, this approach only works if your camera can record EXIF data.

-                What is the importance of ICC color profile management anyway? In simple terms it is alike Hifi stereo, where high fidelity is seeked from source to speakers, passing through microphone, recoding media, player and amplifier. Much the same, ICC color profile management tries to maintain color fidelity from photographic subject through the camera to the output media screen, print, paper and beamer. Luckily digital photography has taken out one source of distortion, the storage media (as the &CD-ROM; did in the audio field).

The central work space (which is called Profile Connection Space, PCS) provides a common platform to translate the device color spaces into each other.

-                <para>As a passionate amateur you can also profit from CM, since it is mostly accociated with 16 bit color depth. RAW mode shooting is much more forgiving in terms of exposure than processed shooting (JPEG), so you can generally underexpose and recover the highlights. And, the human eye is much more sensitive to luminosity variations in the dark scales than a digital camera is. Careful tonal adjustment there close to the blacks will produce a better dynamic of the picture. That is why RAW mode pictures often have an apperance of more depth to them.</para>

No, images are not inverted, it's a matter of taste, I agree, one could invert
them as well.

This will be my last opinion on doc/digikam/index.docbook for a while as I do
not want to be trouble. I may comment on the program or the plugins. There is
NO reason to respond unless there are questions I might answer. Thank you for
your work.

1) meta-data and metadata: one should perhaps be chosen
2) grey and gray : one should perhaps be chosen
3) There some "TODO" lines, perhaps this is acceptable
4) Incomplete thought: "As this tag format is proprietary and manufacturer
 specific."

Well, thank you very much! Don't be so pessimistic, your comments are very
much appreciated and so far have all been implemented (except this patch on
