Open Source Photo Processing Comes of Age
,----[ Quote ]
| Without a doubt digiKam has a lot to offer for the photographers among us.
| Unfortunately, it still has one glaring omission â a clone tool. You may have
| noticed that the original RAW image had some dust specks in the sky above the
| trees and in other parts of the clouds. In digiKam, the only tool available
| for trying to remove such things (other than cropping them out as I did here)
| is a tool called In-painting, found under Enhance > In-painting. However,
| that tool is not easy to use and is rather slow. With a proper clone tool, as
| available in most other photo editors, removing such items only takes a few
| seconds. The good news is that the digiKam developers have acknowledged this
| omission as a bug and we can expect to see it implemented in a future version
| of digiKam. In the mean time we can use the Gimp to take care of these items
| as a final touch up step.
|
| I think you will agree that digiKam is an amazing open source tool. It has
| now become my main photo editor. If you are into photography, why not give it
| a try?

| Discovering a new program that meets all your expectations, surpasses them
| and then gives you a backrub and a monthly subscription to Top Gear magazine
| is a very pleasant prospect. It's like a hidden 100-dollar note you find in
| the back pocket of a pair of jeans in your laundry basket. digiKam fits into
| this category.
