In this post, I compare the facilities to retouch photos in both digiKam and Aperture. Since for both packages there are plenty of options to retouch your pictures, I decided to split the post up into two different posts. In this post, I address where to find the tools and some the quick and easy retouches and how the editing works in general. In my next post, I will discuss the more advanced options, compare the tools available in either application has and say a bit on how they behave. As usual, I start with Aperture and then compare to how digiKam works.
