<br>
I just started using Darktable as my main photo editing/postprocessing<br>
software. So far, I'm very happy with it. Still, all my photo albums are<br>
organized in Digikam. Thus I'm searching for advice on a convenient<br>
workflow for archiving and editing my photos.<br>
<br>
Right now, my workflow is the following:<br>
<br>
* I take pictures with my camera in RAW format and import them into a<br>
subfolder "raw" of the respective album in Digikam.<br>
* Then I go through all the RAW pictures, select the good ones and tag<br>
them as "outstanding" (yellow flag).<br>
* Then I use a search mask to show only the "outstanding" pictures,<br>
select all of them and open them with Darktable (Open with ...)<br>
* In Darktable, I edit my pictures and rate them.<br>
* If I decide to abort a picture in Darktable, I select it as aborted<br>
there, go to the Digikam search mask and mark it as aborted in<br>
Digikam as well (red flag).<br>
* After finishing with editing, I export all pictures from Darktable in<br>
JPG format to the folder "../" (i.e. the album folder, with is the<br>
parent folder of current "raw" subfolder).<br>
* Finally, I tag all pictures from the Digikam search as "done" (green<br>
flag) and remove them from the collection in Darktable.<br>
<br>
As a result, I have my edited pictures in JPG format in the album folder<br>
and all RAW files in a subfolder "raw".<br>
<br>
A few things that I consider as inconvenient with this workflow:<br>
<br>
* Flagging pictures as outstanding, aborted, done seems to be special<br>
to Digikam. Darktable doesn't know these flags and as a result I'm<br>
unable to do the flagging directly in Darktable while editing.<br>
* It would be awesome if Digikam would know that the JPG version in the<br>
album folder is a new version of the RAW source version in the "raw"<br>
subfolder.<br>
* If I find that I want to do some more editing later while browsing<br>
the JPG versions, I have to search for the corresponding RAW file in<br>
the "raw" subfolder and open it in Darktable for now. It would be<br>
awesome if I could simply select "open the RAW file in Darktable"<br>
from the JPG version.<br>
<br>
I'm looking forward to read your suggestions on how to improve my<br>
workflow with Digikam and Darktable. As I've written, I just started<br>
using the two programs together, so I don't know about each and every<br>
feature yet. I'm sure that there's much space for improvement :)<br>
<br>
