[Digikam-users] Batch white balancing

[Martin Schmettow]

Hi Gilles,

sounds like we are expecting a great leap towards more productivity.

Actually, I know Bibblepro well and really like the approach. But I 
think it's more the other way round: First you adjust the parameters for 
a certain filter on a single image. Then you can deliberately 
copy-and-paste filter parameters to other images. The copy-and-paste is 
very fine grained and configurable. For example, you can copy all filter 
settings at once or all color-related filters or even just the 
white-balancing.

Finally you start a batch job, which applies all filters to all images 
with the settings made earlier. This asynchronous approach saves you 
plenty of time. Another advantage is the last settings for each image 
are always preserved in a .bib file. This is one configuration file per 
image.

But I fear, this is at the moment very different from the user interface 
approach in digikam. However, let's see the lighttable first. I'm really 
looking forward ;-)

Martin.
