What is Digikam
|
|
Digikam is a simple digital photo management application, which makes
importing and organizing digital photos a "snap". The photos can be
organized in albums which are automatically sorted chronologically.
An easy to use interface is provided that enables you to connect to
your camera and preview, download and/or delete your images.
