To add a photo to your light table, either right-click on it and select Add to Light Table, or select a photo and press Ctrl-L. The method digiKam provides for this is its light table view, a separate window that helps you focus on just two or three photographs at a larger size than a little thumbnail.

The thumbnail view is the central panel of digiKam, but its right-click menu provides a host of important features, such as switching to fullscreen mode, assigning tags, and assiging labels, but also file-management functions and access to digiKam's digital darkroom.Īside from organizing your photos, the first thing you're likely to do once you have imported an SD card full of pictures is to figure out which of the group are the really good ones, and especially choose between several similar shots of the same subject. There are other filtration options, including fuzzy searches to find images similar to one another, a sketch search to try to match a photo with a rough drawing of what you're looking for, and more. Scanning your entire collection from the start can take a while, but once the initial scan is done, digiKam only scans photos upon import, so be patient on the first use and you won't even notice it happening from then on. DigiKam recognises faces as faces, and can even take guesses as to their identities (an "experimental" feature).
There are lots of other ways to view your photos, though, and they're all accessible as verticle tabs (a time-honored KDE interface tradition) along the left edge of the main window. When you select a directory (or an album, if you prefer), the photos within are displayed as an array in the right panel.

DigiKam refers to whatever directories it finds within your image directory as an Album, and it parses each image file, along with its native metadata plus metadata digiKam allows you to add, into a thumbnail view. The initial default view is a filesytem view, starting from whatever directory you defined as your image folder during digiKam setup. The basics are pretty simple: On the left are panels that control how you view photos, in the middle are the photos themselves, and on the left are effects and filters. The layout of digiKam is fairly intuitive, especially if you're a KDE user. Depending on how many photos you have and how large they are, you might want to let it run over night. The initial launch will be slower than usual because digiKam must analyse the photographs in your collection and record information about each one. Some choices affect performance and file size, so read the screen carefully to decide what you really want, but all of the decisions can be changed later, so accepting the defaults is safe if you're not sure. Upon first launch, you must step through a brief setup wizard. Your distribution may or may not have the latest version, but don't get overly concerned about that digiKam is in the enviable position of having been essentially a complete and stable application for years now, so unless you're looking for a specific feature that only exists in the latest version, it's going to be a good experience, at least just getting started.

If you don't have digiKam installed, you can either grab it for Linux, Windows, or, with a little bit of work, on OS X from the digiKam download page or, on Linux, from your distribution's software repository. Suffice it to say that digiKam is a humble application, because "digital photo management" barely touches on the feature set.
