It's interesting the different priorities people have for software. In trying to find recommendations for software like this, many people seem fixated on whether or not it can process RAW, and nothing else.
I don't use RAW, but the side by side compare, with synchronised zoom, is a primary consideration. I use it for bird photography, where most photos must be heavily cropped. I can't tell which photos are the best focused without side by side zooming. Lightroom is near perfect for what I want. To see 4 side by side would be better, but you can't have everything. My trial expires in 3 weeks ... I'm hoping digiKam will be as good. The only thing I see missing so far is a dual rating system. Lightroom has a number and a colour rating. I can use one to rate focus, and one to rate pose, then filter for the best of each. I can probably use a tag for this instead. Apologies for top posting. I'm on my Blackberry, it's the only way possible. -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry ----- Original Message ----- From: Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> To: digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <[hidden email]> Sent: Sat Dec 12 22:55:39 2009 Subject: Re: [Digikam-users] Images not visible on Light Table 2009/12/12 jdd <[hidden email]>: > Le 12/12/2009 12:27, Laurent Espitallier a écrit : > >> I use it to compare similar series of photos and keep or post process >> only the one I prefer. >> >> Don't know if there is any other usage. > > I do the same, but in the editor.

Both panel in Light table are synchronized for panning and zooming ! you can check details in-deep and see which item is better to post process. Image can be loaded in full size in Light Table. There is an option in digiKam setup panel...

That's excellent that it's already fixed.
To work out how to get code out of SVN is a project for me, let alone compiling it. I'm afraid I barely know where to start. -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry ----- Original Message ----- From: Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> To: digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <[hidden email]> Sent: Sat Dec 12 22:38:31 2009 Subject: Re: [Digikam-users] Images not visible on Light Table 2009/12/12 Andi Clemens <[hidden email]>: > Just because you don't use / understand it, it doesn't make the LightTable > useless for everyone. :-) > > Anyway I just compiled trunk again under Windows (don't do this too often > because it is so slow) and it works just fine here. > > Andi Clemens Thanks Andi to test it under Windows.

Thank you for that. KDE 4.3.4 is what I installed. I might try 4.3.3 and see if there's an improvement, if I get around to it before it's fixed.

Some users in my company will use digiKam to manage their photo collection instead of Adobe Lightroom 2.0. Patrick Spendin said the 8/12/2009 on kde-windows mailing list : Hi all, I am just giving you a short note that KDE 4.3.4 has been uploaded now. It is based on the latest release of Qt 4.6.0; This also means that some packages from the earlier 4.3.3 release might break (due to a packaging error in the 4.3.3 release). It includes a package of the koffice suite in version 2.1.0, a new konversation package in version 1.2.1, a ktorrent package in version 3.3.1. If you'd like to see other packages with recent releases (from extragear etc.), just give us a hint here. I will add the digikam 1.0.0 release next week.
