digiKam 5.1.0 RAW Image Editor Brings Support for Samsung Galaxy S7, New Cameras

The development team behind digiKam, a popular open-source and cross-platform RAW image editor, viewer and organizer for KDE and Qt-based desktop environments and operating systems, announced today, August 9, 2016, the release of digiKam 5.1.0.

digiKam 5.1.0 is the first maintenance update since the release of the major digiKam 5.0.0 milestone that brought numerous new features and dozens of improvements to the open-source image editor software used by many GNU/Linux users around the world on their KDE desktop environments.

Probably the most important change in the digiKam 5.1.0 update, besides the usual bug fixes, is the inclusion of the libraw 0.18.0 library for reading RAW images from various digital cameras. As such, the new libraw release brings support for the Canon 80D, Canon 1300D, Canon 1DX Mark II, Fujifilm X-Pro2, Fujifilm X70, Fujifilm X-E2S, Nikon D5, Leica M and Leica X-U.
