Hello Linux Geeksters. DigiKam is a photo managementt application, designed for importing, organizing and exporting digital photos to your computer. It has a simple and fast interface. It also has a quick Image Editor,and allows you to comment, rate, correct or alter photographies. The latest stable version available is DigiKam 3.3.0, which has been released recently with new features and improvements added. For a list of changes, see this link. (it is awesome that being a KDE application, DigiKam 3.3.0 has been released first for Linux systems only, the Windows and Mac OS X users have to wait a while longer)
