  The boss was tooling around with the digital camera looking at the .jpg's on the hard drive when she decided to open one in GwenView, after adjusting the gamma, brightness and contrast she wanted to save the result, and toss the original file.  It seems that gwenview can make those adjustments to the picture on the screen, but not write them out to a file.  Any ideas (not GIMP) for accomplishing this?

Same here! I do pro. photo work and Bibblepro is what I use first on ALL digital pics.....Gimp after import from RAW images - IF I have to. ;) Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ahh, I hadn't really played with Digikam. Now being a work day, I had a few minutes to try it out. Very nice interface, and almost as polished as Picasa. I did an export of some pictures to a simple webpage. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/pics/2006/d+l_birthday/ I did have to copy the pictures to subfolder to select only certian ones, but other than that not bad. I wonder (and have searched) if there are more themes available. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What I would like to see is an interface from Digikam to Gallery2, http://gallery.menalto.com/ , my prefered choice for Web-publishing of pictures. Gallery supports delegation of access rights for sub-folders; something I need when friends want to contribute their photos of holidays / parties / what-so-ever. It also supports batch-downloading of selected pictures in archives and batch uploads, where I would like to get the Digikam connection. I haven't found it yet, though.

Yes, Digikam can only export albums. However, to export only selected images, the gallary function in Showimg: http://www.jalix.org/projects/showimg/ is quite nice.

I wonder (and have searched) if there are more themes available.

I don't think so. However, writing a theme is quite easy: http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/26 Charles -- DPRINTK("Last time you were disconnected, how about now?\n"); linux-2.6.6/drivers/net/tokenring/ibmtr.c

I should mention also - though it does not have good integration with the built-in editors - there is the JAlbum product. It is freeware and written in Java.

Please clearify. What builtin editors?

Well, for example, the Picasa and Digicam products both let you peform actions on the photo from within the app. These actions may be color balance, red eye reduction, cropping, border adding/removal, or effects such as sepia and b&w.

Of course you can do that in Digikam- that is what the Digikam plugins and Kipi plugins are for. You should: (1) Make sure all the plugins you want are activated in Settings-> "Configure DigiKam"-> "Image Plugins". (2) Right click on the image and choose "Edit". "Red Eye Reduction", "Colour Balance" are under the menu "Fix". "Crop", etc are under "Transform". Add "Border" is under "Image". Effects are under "Filters". In my copy of Digikam (version 0.90), there are 29 plugins in addition to the core Digikam plugins. You should explore the menus. :-) Charles -- printk("----------- [cut here ] --------- [please bite here ] ---------\n"); linux-2.6.6/arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.
