“For many years pho­to­graphy and linux have not been
the best friends. But it seems, as if this has changed.

“This week I did some­thing which seemed impossible until
now. I kicked Windows.

“No more XP/64, no more 7/64. Go figure.

“Finally there are linux-replacements for the have-to-have-apps
like Adobe PS and LR. Now I use Digikam (cur­rently 1.4, see
screen­shot above) to manage/edit all my pho­tos, Gimp
(2.7, devel) as addi­tional editing-software and also Krita,
which has some poten­tial. And the Kipi-plugins are a real
time-saver for re-occuring tasks.”
