2.2. Transferring and Manipulating Pictures 2.2.1. Deleting Pictures Create a set of pictures and choose Image ..Move to Trash from the menu. You are not asked for confirmation, the images are moved to the desktop’s Trash im mediately. Keyboard shortcut: Shift -Delete . 2.2.2. Rotating Pictures Create a set of pictures and choose one of the entries (90 , 180 or 270 ) of the Image + Rotate menu. Many digital cameras store rotation information within the image file. In this case you can choose Image ..Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information from the menu to have the picture rotated automatically in the correct direction. All transformations on pictures (such as rotation) are done on the on- disk file. digiKam doesn’t make a backup of the transformed pictures. Also bear in mind that all transformations are, when possible, loss-less. 2.2.3. Touching-Up Pictures Double click on a picture to open the image edit window. Note that all touch-up operations affect the quality of the picture’s on-disk file. Also bear in mind that on-screen rendering is quite different from printing your digital pictures on photographic paper. So if you intend to both print and publish your pictures for online viewing, it might be wise to treat both copies differently from the beginning. Press Ctrl -Z to undo the last transformation operation. However, once you have saved the image, changes cannot be undone.
