This is not exactly an answer, but I would like to mention that---
Darktable is a Linux alternative for Lightroom. It is available only for
Linux. It uses sidecar .xmp, but yet I have not confirmed whether digiKam
reads properly the tags from darktable's sidecars. I am with DK 1.9 whereas
sidecar support in DK is in 2.x version, moreover I have read that it (the
sidecar support in DK) is going to be marked as 'experimental' presently.

Darktable developers are going to add 'area selection' tool shortly which
will improve it's functionality to a professional software.

Best luck.
