IMPORTANT :

the digiKam handbook is under construction by Gerhard Kulzer. It's a long task 
to do. Not all is complete.

If you want some help about an option, for example to set properlly the ICC 
settings management or the RAW file decoding settings, i recommend you to 
read the contextual help for each option available using SHIFT+F1. Just click 
on widget from gui where you want more informations, like this for example :
