Photivo Integration
digikam and Photivo are perfect complements: digiKam is the best photo management software I have ever known. The raw file developing tool Photivo offers a remarkable feature set, high quality of processing and an optimized workflow.
My motivation is to make digiKam and Photivo nicely integrate into each other in order to combine the best out of both applications.

digiKam is the best photo management software I have ever known. In addition to its comprehensive management abilities it also provides image editing and processing features. Nevertheless there are are some tasks that can be done better by tools that are optimized for a special purpose. One of these tasks is the processing of raw image files. digiKam is able to develop raw files, but more experienced users tend to use specialized software that offer more options and detailed control but also demand some more knowledge (or at least the will to experiment around a bit).
Since a while there are some great open source raw developers. My favored tool is Photivo. It offers a remarkable feature set, high quality of processing and an optimized workflow, that suits its purpose. Although some of the filters aim at advanced users Photivo can also be used without knowledge what LAB and “all that stuff” even means and how it internally works.
Therefore my motivation is to make digiKam and Photivo nicely integrate into each other in order to combine the best out of both applications.
