digiKam 8.3.0

digiKam is a KDE photo collection manager. It provides streamlined importing and organizing/classifying them into albums or chronologies. Besides allowing custom directory schemes for storage, it also permits plain tagging, indexing and rating. Through KIPI it integrates with other KDE photo management software; but also provides a Light Table tool to pick highest quality shots from a series, or retouch them. A built-in image editor can apply colorization and lightning correction effects.
