Well I suggested something along the lines of
"Professional quality open source photography processing software"

since apparently what was apparently important was :
- Professionalism
- Quality
- Open source

So, sticking to English (to be understood by most users) and still sticking to
the above concept, here are some ideas in no specific order in hope that they
will spark further ideas in others :

1 - "An open source tool for professional photographers" (might intimidate
beginners, but then it *is* a high end tool)
2 - (drop the "professional" thing, which nobody cares about anyway since
professionals starve) "High end photography management - and it's open source
!"
3 - "Full featured Photography Management - Open Source"
4 - "Your Photos - Your Data - Full featured Photography Management - The
Security of Open Source" (note "security" instead of "power" or "convenience"
or whatever... because that's a major "selling point" especially with digital
images. Will they still be yours in 10 years ? With open source they will. With
closed source... maybe, maybe not.

Those are merely ideas. I like 3 & 4 most (ok, I like 4 most). OTOH they tend
to show digiKam as a proper piece of software instead of a wanabee copy of some
sort of second grade "pro" thingy, which is what it looks like now.

And to Gilles, feel free to write to me in French if you feel like it. It seem
to me like dk really has an image problem. That people actually recommend
F-Spot (which has some qualities) instead of digiKam really says something (ok
one is Gnome, the usual default, but still)
