Simulate a Faded Effect in digiKam
Sometimes the best way to spice up a photo is to make it look faded, and digiKam makes it supremely easy to achieve this effect.
Open the photo for editing and choose Color → White Balance. Adjust exposure compensation to slightly overexpose the photo and set the color temperature to 12000 to add a strong golden tint to the photo. Press OK to apply the modifications. Choose then Color → Hues/Saturation/Lightness and set Saturation to -50. Press OK, and you are done. The described technique works particularly well with skin tones, so it’s suitable for use with portrait photos.
These digikam feature/guide posts are nice and interesting but as a Planet KDE subscriber I have to go through digikam.org to get here. Could it be possible to feed these directly to Planet KDE or display full articles at digikam.org? Thanks.

You should probably contact the Planet KDE admin to fix that.
