The application provides a comprehensive set of tools for importing, managing, editing, and sharing photos and raw files.

You can use digiKam's import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB drives, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on the spot.

digiKam organizes photos, raw files, and videos into albums. However, the application also has powerful tagging tools that allow you to assign tags, ratings, and labels to photos and raw files. You can then use the filtering feature to quickly find items that match specific criteria.

Besides the filtering functionality, the digiKam application offers powerful search capabilities that allow you to search the photo library using a wide range of criteria. You can search photos by tags, rating, date, location, and even specific EXIF, IPTC, or XMP metadata. You can also combine various criteria for more advanced searches. digiKam uses the Exiv2 library to handle tag and metadata contents of files to populate the photo library.

digiKam can handle raw files and the application uses the excellent LibRaw library for decoding them. The library is maintained and updated regularly to include support for the latest camera models.

The app provides a full set of editing tools, including basic tools for color adjustment, cropping, and color enhancement, as well as advanced tools for adjustment curves, panorama stitching, and more. A dedicated tool allows for automatic lens corrections to be applied to images.

The extensive functionality of digiKam is implemented through a set of plugins. You can easily customize digiKam by enabling and disabling individual tools, especially for importing and exporting content to remote web services.
