Digikam – Light table

“I consider myself a pre-amateur photographer and that means I’m
taking a lot of shots just to learn how the camera works. I own a
Canon EOS 1000D and have recently moved from the fully automatic
exposure modes to the advanced exposure modes, and to be more
specific, the programmed auto exposure mode.

“So, I needed an application that could load a couple of
pictures, showing two pictures side-by-side for visual comparison
and at the same time presenting the more important meta-data
attributes such as focal length, exposure time, ISO and aperture. I
considered doing such application myself and that’s why I came
across and started to explore gphoto. But luckily, I managed to
stop myself and took yet another look at what Digikam offers. I’m a
die-hard KDE-fan and have been using digikam, which is a KDE photo
manager application, for quite some time to organize my photos but
never actually used any other features except removing
red-eyes.”
