[Digikam-users] Workflow when selecting images across albu7ms

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

You can use color tags, to save temporary selections, and you're not
obliged to save them in pictures with the other tags.

To use pictures in other applications, in the past, I used the remote
export function in order to create external albums.
Recently, I tried another solution: I used an album inside Digikam, and a
folder with a symbolic link to the album in Digikam in the other
application. For creating photos books with Scribus, I update the pictures
in the Digikam album (I usually begin with low definition pictures, so they
are not too heavy in Scribus) till I get to the final sizes/versions; then
I use the Scribus function 'regroup for output' in order to make a copy of
everything into a Scribus folder. I can then delete the album in Digikam,
as I won't need it any longer.

Hope this helps,
Marie-Noëlle
