<br><br>> To: digikam-users@kde.org<br>> From: solixo2004@yahoo.co.uk<br>> Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:58:30 +0000<br>> Subject: [Digikam-users] Some (basic) questions regarding Digikam 1.1.0 (Kde 4.4 SC on Kubuntu 9.10)<br>> <br>> I almost left Picasa for Digikam, but there are some items that I find a bit<br>> "annoying", so if somebody can help me/clarify (I'm a total newbie, so bear with<br>> me):<br><br>I also moved form Picassa to Microsoft Live photo organizer to Digikam. Digikam is a very powerful program and it takes a while to learn how to use it. Your going about it I believe in the right way. Take you time and just weather the learning curve.<br> <br>> 1) Sometimes I want to crop photos for printing on 4x6i/10x15cm photo paper. The<br>> Aspect Ratio Crop, doesn't offer a direct way to crop but according to paper<br>> formats... I have to choose custom. I'm doing something wrong/missing something<br>> or is there a way that I'm missing?<br><br>the 3:2 is the same as 4:6 and 10:15. You can just rotate it if you need to.<br><br><br>> 2) Is there any way of "clean" a photo (like a clone/stamp) tool inside the<br>> Image Editor? Or do I have to use an external editor?<br><br><br>I haven't seen any. There are lots of full image manipulation tools like you would expect for a digital asset management program but not a lot of heavy in image editing tools also what you would expect from a digital asset management program. I usually right click and open the image in Gimp.<br><br><br>> 3) Is there any way to set the default print settings? My printer needs to print<br>> in Landscape mode, and I need to change always for *every* photo that I print<br>> the settings to Landscape mode.<br><br><br>I use Kubuntu and have a HP 812C Deskjet and can go to the Applications>system settings>Printer configuration>job options and select the default orientation. It does pretty good if I leave it on automatic rotation.<br><br><br>> <br>> Thanks for a great program!<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Digikam-users mailing list<br>> Digikam-users@kde.org<br>> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users<br> <br /><hr />Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
