John,Can't help with regards to Konq, but do you do editing in Gimp? If not,Yes, maybe I ought to. I use gimp mainly because these old photos need a
convert en masse could save you a lot of clicks.

lot of repair work, If scanning from a colour negative, the scanner automatically
converts the image from the colour negative to a colour positive. Fine.
but in so doing you soon take a look at the result and notice straight
away how the dyes have faded over the years, the yellow pigment goes
first, then red , and the images is week and positively blue hued. Not
to worry gimp has the right handy dandy device , in image - colour -
auto - equalise, and hey presto thecolours are all back, not perfectly
balanced but darn near there, and with the other colour manipulation
devices you put the finishing touches, to the colour balance , hue,
saturation and size of image. Great.
So you see I need to work on the images a lot. Standardised commands
are fine with new colour photos where everything is just so.

I use the curves and levels adjustments in Gimp for color correction for
my digital camera. The nice thing about it is that you can save the
adjustment for later use. I only need to use one, because the color is
only bad for indoor flash photos. I open the picture, load the adjustment
and done. I've had more luck with this than other adjustments but of
course YMMV.

My digital camera stuff is mostly pretty good, only occassional images need a tweek in
the colour balance dept. On the otherhand all this old picture stuff i'm scanning all needs
some attention, not much, but some attention. The more I learn about gimp the more impressed
I am with it. I like it.
