digikam 0.9 @ heise.de

Dear all,
also heise-online heard about the recent release of digikam, http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/82934 """Linux-Bildverwaltung digiKam auf Profikurs""" Babelfish's translation is, well, fun to read ;-). So based on this an *approximate* translation for the non-German speaking readers: """ Linux photo management digiKam on professional course The producers of Linux photo management digiKam quickly pushed version 0.9.0 under the Christmas tree. It promises interesting functions for organizing and working on photos. DigiKam organizes pictures by hierarchical albums and a likewise hierarchical category system for the keywords. Version 0.9.0 writes these keywords and other data when desired in the IPTC header of the files, among them the date, copyright information and evaluation. Thus also external applications to the information can access, if they make use of IPTC. Also the other way round digiKam when importing new pictures the IPTC and EXIF header are interpreted and from this automatically categories and other database entries are obtained. Using GPS data the photos can be indicated also geographically on a map. Picture editors will be pleased about the new KipiPlugin interface as well as by the plugin based RAW converter. The photos can be manipulated without having to reduce the depth of shade of 16 to 8 bits per channel. With the correction gradation curves, a channel mixer as well as a color temperature automatic controller help. Various retouching tools care about distortions, vignettierung, red eyes, disturbing objects or promise careful sharpening and scaling techniques from the CImg library. The lcms Farbmanagement is to ensure a reliable representation by ICC profiles (atr/c't) """ Best, Arnd P.S.: Don't read the forum there, it will just boil down to the usual Windows vs. Linux flameware, especially on a Friday ;-) _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

But the comments are so incredibly stupid and primitive that I didn't even think about to counter that crap: "As long as there are no color profiles, the app is worth nothing", or "What are IPTC worth if you can enter only 2 fields" etc... Is heise.de the playgarden of a psychiatric clinic or the "COMPWU" (cooperation of most primitive windows users)? The people writing comments there really have no clue about nothing. I wonder that they can type. Well, maybe Mammy bought them a M$-app for $99.99 for Xmas, where they can blabla into a microphone and it gets sent to heise.de? That forum looks more like a flame-war-enhancer than like an information source. Jesus, I didn't know, such things exist. At least its proven that its possible to exist without a brain.

Usual fate of popular site. But texts on heise.de are usually quite good and as I understand treated as important hints. m. _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Glad, Gilles is on holidays and doesn't read german > texts :-) The forum is known to be just crap (at least most of the time ;-), I don't read it). This is in *strong* contrast to the quality of the journals published by heise (e.g. c't or iX), which I personally consider to be really good (IMO they are the best in the German speaking market). Anyway, the number of users of digikam will surely enlarge by this (I just convinced two more these days ;-), and 0.9 is a really *big* milestone!

To make this easier, I generate a PAD file. This should be stored on our webpage since it is being checked automatically bei Heise (or any other future registrar) on a weekly basis for updates. Where would be a good place or page to put it? Gerhard _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

There was another message on golem.de (http://www.golem.de/0612/49605.html) which incited similarly stupid flames, but after 2 days more serious contributions crop up. A not too small publisher said they use Linux tools only for speed reasons. And if you go into www.kde-apps.org and click on highest rated programs, digiKam soars on 3rd place with 88% good in 39844 programs. Therefore, no worries mate... as the Australiens so justly say.

I didn't know - I was just astonished by the pure amount of foolish comments from people who for sure never gave digiKam two seconds to look at. > This is in *strong* contrast to the quality of the journals > published by heise (e.g. c't or iX), which I personally consider > to be really good (IMO they are the best in the German > speaking market). I wasn't aware of this contrast. Reading the maybe first 30 comments was enough for me... I felt like getting clobbered over the head with that. > > Anyway, the number of users of digikam will surely enlarge by this > (I just convinced two more these days ;-), > and 0.9 is a really *big* milestone! I fully agree!
