All :ref:`Colors <colors_tools>`, :ref:`Effects <effects_tools>`, :ref:`Transform <transform_tools>`, :ref:`Decorate <decorate_tools>`, and :ref:`Enhancement <enhancement_tools>` tools are there. Showfoto inherits also of **Raw Import** tool to handle RAW demosaicing operations. 0022 0023 .. figure:: images/showfoto_apple_proraw.webp 0024 :alt: 0025 :align: center 0026 0027 The Showfoto loading a DNG Based Apple ProRAW File Taken with an iPhone 0028 0029 .. _showfoto_postprocessing: 0030 0031 Post-Processing 0032 --------------- 0033 0034 Even if Showfoto does not provide something like the digiKam **Batch Queue Manager**, it can process files in batch. Plugins as **Time Adjust**, **Print Wizard**, **Metadata Editor**, **HTML Gallery**, etc. are compatible with Showfoto. The main difference to deal with this tools compared to digiKam is the way to pass items to process in the tools. Showfoto does not have an Icon-View as digiKam, but it has the **Stack View** and **Thumbbar** containers. When a :ref:`Post Processing <post_processing>` tool is called from Showfoto, the contents of the Stack or the Thumbbar are loaded in the tool, and of course, you can personalize this list later in the plugin. 0035 0036 .. figure:: images/showfoto_time_adjust.webp 0037 :alt: 0038 :align: center 0039 0040 The Showfoto Running Time Adjust Plugin Over the Contents loaded from the Current Stack 0041 0042 With Showfoto, you can also export items with :ref:`web-service tools <export_tools>`, as Flickr or Google, exactly like you can do in digiKam. 0043 0044 .. figure:: images/showfoto_export_dropbox.webp 0045 :alt: 0046 :align: center 0047 0048 The Showfoto Exporting the Current Stack to Dropbox Web-Service 0049 0050 .. _showfoto_dngconvert: 0051 0052 DNG Converter 0053 ------------- 0054 0055 One very important tool available in digiKam Batch Queue Manager is also usable in Showfoto. It's the famous :ref:`DNG Converter <dng_converter>` used to migrate proprietary RAW data containers to the open-standardized `Digital Negative format <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative>`_. 0056 0057 In Showfoto, this tool runs as stand-alone version like **Time Adjust** plugin. It works mostly like the original from the digiKam Batch Queue Manager. You can start it from the :menuselection:`Tools --> DNG Converter...` menu entry. 0058 0059 .. figure:: images/showfoto_dng_converter.webp 0060 :alt: 0061 :align: center 0062 0063 The Showfoto Running DNG Converter Plugin
