I was looking for one of my photos. Thanks to my tags and descriptions I found the photo within seconds. I have a big backlog, but such metadata is so good to have, including to know what is on the photo - memory fade over time. I use #digiKam #photography

Today is my pod show "Getting started with the digiKam photo management software" aired on Hacker Public Radio.

I hope it can be useful for someone!

I also recommend you to subscribe to HPR for shows in many interesting topics.

Isn't it great news that I have produced a new pod episode for Hacker Public Radio?

It will be aired 2nd of April this year.

Why not subscribe to HPR for many other good episodes by other hackers.

Today is my first pod episode for Hacker Public Radio aired!

It is about how I migrated to digiKam software for my photo catalog, from Photoshop Elements or Lightroom. Episode hpr4071.

Next writing from my days with LMDE Linux Mint Debian Edition as my daily driver. https://www.hemrin.com/walking-to-linux/kernel-calibre-and-other-softwares #linux #LMDE #LinuxMintDebianEdition #dailydriver #calibre #digikam #joplin #whatsapp

I am very satisfied that I last year changed to digiKam to manage my photos.

Not only that it is a free and open source software (donations are welcome from us users) and available on "all" platforms (Linux, Windows and macOS). It is also a very competent software!

Now I've updated to the latest 8.1 release of digiKam. I will look more into my settings related to new features compared to 7.9 (I never upgraded to 8.0), and generally learn more about the new features. I am so impressed of this free and open software! #opensource #foss #photography #digikam https://www.digikam.org/

Jag är så nöjder och glader att jag bytte till digiKam för att organisera mina bilder! Det går också att använda för editering med mera, men jag har inte lärt mig arbetsflödet där så bra. Jag kompletterar med RawTherapee och GIMP om andan faller på, och en del mer program. Det var lite trixigt att få med gamla datan vid bytet från Adobe, men gick bra. Jag skrev ner mina erfarenheter i bifogad artikel. #foto #fotografering #digiKam #opensource #FOSS https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/byta-fotokatalogprogram-till-digikam-fran-photoshop-elements-och-lightroom-classic

Last year I started to use digiKam as my major photo management software. Especially as catalog sw but also for editing with a few additional sw. I do not at all regret I moved to digiKam. Now the new major release 8.0 has arrived. https://www.digikam.org/ #openSource #photohraphy #digikam

These foot prints in snow have already started to deteriorate. Digital prints we give online are far more stubborn to wipe off.

Shot last year with #Nikon D90, developed with #digiKam. #privacy

Of unknown reason, I waited a month to upgrade my #digiKam software to the new 7.9.0 release. I am still happy I moved over to digiKam, primarily as photo catalog manager, but I can also use it for editing etcetera. I intend to use eg #RawTherapee and #GIMP in addition, maybe more (now also #AfterShot). (my migration in Swedish: https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/365-byta-fotokatalogprogram-till-digikam-fran-photoshop-elements-och-lightroom-classic) The latest release: https://www.digikam.org/news/2022-12-05-7.9.0_release_announcement/ #OpenSource #FOSS #Photography

On the happy side: Birds IRL eating an ordinary day. A #photo I shot a couple of days ago through a window, hence not so clear and sharp. Anyway, best effort, developed with #digiKam. #photography
As alternative to all talk about a non-IRL bird.
On the sad side:
- We must improve regarding the #climatechange. What must I do better in my life?
- The #invasion war by #Russia in #Ukraine. So terrible and idiotic etc. Several other ongoing wars not to be forgotten.
- Too much more for one toot.

Kanske jag kan inspirera någon att pröva digiKam för hantering av foton. #fotografering #digiKam #opensource https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/365-byta-fotokatalogprogram-till-digikam-fran-photoshop-elements-och-lightroom-classic

I'm working on my migration to digiKam from Photoshop Elements Organizer to manage my photo catalog. It takes a while, it is not a full time engagement, but it seems as in the end I will have most metadata with me automatically and by hand. #photography #digiKam #opensource

Tidying up catalogs in my outdated version of Photoshop Elements Organizer. Then I will import to Lightroom, as interim step. Lightroom can import and export better (eg xmp sidecar). The import into #digiKam which I plan to use as photo catalog. That's the plan...! #photography
