field of action

jdd@dodin.org
Hello :-)

I wonder why, when the cameras uses for now many years intelligent
light measure, no edit program do.

Cameras uses weighted zones. Some part of the image have more
importance than other, when we use all the photo.

the problem is very important for scanned images. It's very common to
have black parts included in the image (Agfa 1950' dias had round
corners - of course one could remove the frame, but then the scan will
take ages)

here an example: http://www.cijoint.fr/cj200911/cij0RG8CK1.jpg

it should be possible to select a part of the image and then launch
the automatic correction

may be this is possible but I didn't notice it?

thanks
jdd

Hi jdd,

I ight be wrong, but as much as I understund digikam (super app!) it is
designed to work with the complete picture. If you want to apply corrections
only to parts you also want to have soft selections, layers and a lot more...
Use Gimp for these tasks.

But it is very easy and fast to crop the images in digikam and even keep the
aspect ratio. Just remove the unwanted parts and do the corrections then...

If you don't want to crop every single image of a series of scans (and scanned
them all in the same position) you can also use imagemagick within a script
to crop all together and overwright them or save them to another file name.
See: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/

For more complex corrections you can use layers and masks in Gimp, even with
grayscales, gradients etc. to acchieve about any effect you' desire...

good luck!

Daniel

I don't ask for such complex things. May be simply be able to use only
a % of the main window as reference (the border of an image are
frequently not relevant

I can't crop, if you look the example, this would need removing most
of the image :-(

Problems moving photos from EOS 350D

Anders Troberg
With the version currently in Kubuntu, I had some weird problems when
trying to download photos from my EOS 350D. Digikam detected it as a
Canon Rebel XT, which, given that it's the US designation for the
camera, I thought was close enough. However, as soon as the transfer
started, DigiKam crashed. This was a consistently repeatable error.

After fooling around a bit, I tried manually adding the EOS 350D camera
to the list. Iirc, it still identified it as a Rebel XT, but now it
worked perfectly.

Probably some minor hickup, so just consider this a bug report and some
bug hunting information.

Re: Problems moving photos from EOS 350D

Bugzilla from andi.clemens@gmx.net
This has nothing to do with the detected camera, but with the SelectAlbum
dialg and was fixed in beta6.
Kubuntu unfortunately thinks it is cool to add beta-Software to their stable
releases (not only digiKam is suffering from that right now). This sheds a
false light over digiKam and leads to a huge number of duplicate bugreports.
They should have left digikam-beta in some experimental branch and keep
digiKam-0.10 as the official release, as many other distributions do.

Some rant about this can be found here:
http://apaku.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/dont-install-ubuntu-9-10-if-you-want-a-
stable-kdevelop/

I really hope Ubuntu will update digiKam, otherwise we receive these reports
for 6 months now :-(

Well, it could be worse. They could have included a new
version/generation of KDE before it was ready for general use. Or
something...
