           Summary: Tagline reflects poorly on the application
                    capabilities
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: fred at fredshome.org


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

digiKam currently uses the following tagline :
"Manage your photographs like a professional with the power of open source"

This implies that digiKam is a second rate player. It's for professional
wanabees. 

As someone who has been doing photography for ages but who has been a
professional in film and video (in advertising and with 10 years at Canal +, I
know this will say something to the main digiKam guy - yes I'm French too), I
don't want to have my image processing software to be a mere likeness of some
hypothetical commercial thing that's supposedly better merely because it's
expensive...

Make this "Professional quality open source photography processing software",
which it *is*. Stop underselling digiKam. For us photographers, it's by far the
greatest tool out there. Granted I still process my RAWs with BibblePro but I
manage and mostly retouch everything with digiKam and almost never use Gimp.
Fspot or the Google thing are just cute toys compared to it. 

That is all.

So pretty please, remove that silly slogan.
