[Digikam-users] Digital Asset Management (DAM) question: final formats, meta data and so on

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

Simple: I shoot RAW only, as I have no use for an additional ready-cooked
JPEG.
I make a rather strict selection, and only develop about 10%-15% of what
I've shot. In the very rare cases I need to produce a huge number of
pictures in a limited time, Digikam batch tool manager can automatically
produce JPEGs that are as good as what can do my camera.

And by the way, I use Darktable for working on RAW pictures, and export
them in TIFF format to Digikam collections.
