Thanks. I have put the new address in bbdb, but forgot to change the

Sorry, I misunderstood you. After looking at the page it seems like it
is only really meant for publishing. Their filters page looks truly
scary for non-technical users:

Of course you can do that in Digikam- that is what the Digikam plugins
and Kipi plugins are for. You should:

(1) Make sure all the plugins you want are activated in Settings->
"Configure DigiKam"-> "Image Plugins".

(2) Right click on the image and choose "Edit".

"Red Eye Reduction", "Colour Balance" are under the menu "Fix". "Crop",
etc are under "Transform". Add "Border" is under "Image". Effects are
under "Filters". In my copy of Digikam (version 0.90), there are 29
plugins in addition to the core Digikam plugins. You should explore the
menus. :-)

I think the term you are looking for is the "bundled-together" editors.
 Neither picasa or digikam is built in.

Well, for example, the Picasa and Digicam products both let you peform actions 
on the photo from within the app. These actions may be color balance, red eye 
reduction, cropping, border adding/removal, or effects such as sepia and b&w.

Does that make sense?

Thank you very much.

I should mention also - though it does not have good integration with the 
built-in editors - there is the JAlbum product. It is freeware and written in 
Java.

http://jalbum.net/

I have used it on both Wintendo and SUSE. It works pretty good and has 
fantastic skins available. 

Again, my complaint is that it doesn't integrate with the built in editors.

Yes, Digikam can only export albums. However, to export only selected
images, the gallary function in Showimg:

http://www.jalix.org/projects/showimg/

is quite nice.

I don't think so. However, writing a theme is quite easy:

Ahh, I hadn't really played with Digikam. Now being a work day, I had a few 
minutes to try it out. Very nice interface, and almost as polished as Picasa. 
I did an export of some pictures to a simple webpage.

I saw Digikam and Krita mentioned. Both good products. Krita blows away GIMP 
for ease of use and everyday L&F issues.  Unlike GIMP it has a standard file 
dialog.

Of course, also unlike GIMP you can't use it on Wintendo.

I HIGHLY recommend ShowFoto, which komes with KDE, but somehow missed the 
naming konvensions of KDE. It does most of what you need from GIMP without 
the ugly interface.

I also recommend Picasa. It is a Wintendo application that google bought and 
ported (using an embedded Wine thingy) to *nix. I use it all the time, 
because it is fast, easy and reliable.


http://picasa.google.com/linux/



These pics were all treated with Picasa:

  This is part of SuSE, which is good as it will access the camera, and
do some editing.

  The boss was tooling around with the digital camera looking at
the .jpg's on the hard drive when she decided to open one in GwenView,
after adjusting the gamma, brightness and contrast she wanted to save
the result, and toss the original file.  It seems that gwenview can make
those adjustments to the picture on the screen, but not write them out
to a file.  Any ideas (not GIMP) for accomplishing this?
