digiKam installation and configuration - Part 4

In the post About picture correction and work optimization we have made a decision to use digiKam to correct thousands of scanned pictures as effectively as possible. But before we can start using digiKam, we need to install it and configure some settings. Since we have quite some work to do I have split it into several parts:

• In Part 1 we talk about digiKam installation, then we install VMware Player and Ubuntu Linux on Windows and configure Ubuntu regional settings.
• In Part 2 we install digiKam and talk some more about VMware Player and Ubuntu Linux.
• In Part 3 we copy pictures from Windows to Ubuntu VM and exercise some Ubuntu desktop tweaking.
• In this post we configure some of digiKam's settings and picture editor keyboard shortcuts.
