19.8 Viewing and Editing Images
digiKam comes with a comprehensive image viewing and editing suite consisting of
various plug-ins. To enter digiKam's viewing and editing mode, double-click an image
thumbnail. To use the plug-ins, you need to install the
digikamplugins
package.
Use View to zoom in and out of your image and to insert histograms. Using the His-
togram option, you can judge the exposure of your image while viewing it.
Figure 19.5 Checking the Histogram
Use the Image menu to edit the properties, comments and tags of your images and to
apply basic effects or to insert text:
Apply Texture
Select the type of texture you want to apply to your image and determine how
prominent this texture should be (Relief). digiKam applies the texture and saves
the changes to the original copy of your image.
