## Digikam Image Plugins

One of the nicest things about digiKam Image Editor is how easily its functionality can be extended, by using plugins. Plugins can manipulate images in almost any way that users can. Their advantage is that it is much easier to add a capability to Image Editor by writing a small plugin than by modifying the Image Editor core. Many valuable plugins have C++ source code that only comes to 100-200 lines or so.

Only one plugin is included in the main digiKam distribution, and installed automatically along with digiKam Image Editor. It provide some importants feature like Red Eye Reduction tool and Auto-Levels. The digiKam Image Plugins package adding more functions like new plugins. They can add extra menus and shortcuts, and extend the image editor features like new filters, special effects, and advanced tools.

- Adjust Levels image plugin

- Charcoal Drawing plugin
