Fotoxx

Fotoxx lets you navigate an image collection using a thumbnail browser and choose images to view or edit. Edit functions include brightness, contrast, color, white balance, tone mapping, red-eyes, sharpen, blur, noise suppression, smart erase, trim, resize, rotate, annotate, warp, art effects, HDR, HDF, stack, and panorama. Edit functions use movable curves and sliders. Feedback is live, using the whole image, with unlimited undo and redo. RAW files can be imported and edited with 16-bit color depth. Areas or objects can be selected using freehand draw, follow edge, and tone matching. Selections can be edited with adjustable blending. Selections can be cut and paste. You can add tags, dates, comments, captions, and ratings to images, and you can search using these criteria as well as file names. You can also define named collections of images, make slide shows, and view and edit metadata (EXIF etc.). Batch processing is available for rename, resize/export, CD/DVD burn, and add/delete tags.

12.02

04 Feb 2012 01:10

Release Notes: Fotoxx has been converted to use GTK3 and Cairo. It will no longer build or install on older Linux releases lacking these libraries. Support for multiple top image directories has been added. The gallery thumbnail size is saved and restored across sessions. RPM packages are now built using Fedora and rpmbuild instead of alien. Two minor bugs have been fixed.

12.01.2

04 Jan 2012 15:43

Release Notes: A serious bug was fixed. The Italian user guide was updated, and the Swedish translation was updated.

12.01

01 Jan 2012 21:56

Release Notes: A new capability was added to search for and report any image metadata (EXIF, IPTC, etc.). Thumbnail images are shown with metadata text. Indexing new photos is 2x faster (up to 1000/minute). The main window can be more easily zoomed and panned during a dialog that is also using the mouse. You can zoom in/out using the mouse wheel. The mouse pointer tracks the zoom center to the middle of the window. The zoom ratio is configurable: 1-4 zooms for each 2x increase. Print color adjustments can be saved to a file for re-use. Three minor bugs were fixed.

11.12.1

02 Dec 2011 22:18

Release Notes: This release will automatically trim unused margins left over from the panorama, warp, and unbend functions. It will automatically find bright or dark "stuck" pixels (camera sensor defects) and fix them by interpolating neighboring pixels. Pixel locations can be saved and applied to other photos. Select Area was extended to both select and un-select by matching colors, and the search range was made adjustable. The resize and export function can convert to JPEG, PNG, or TIFF format. RAW conversion can output to JPEG, PNG, TIFF-8, and TIFF-16. There were several other minor improvements and four bugs were corrected.

11.11.1

05 Nov 2011 11:10

Release Notes: Creating and editing image collections has been made easier and more intuitive. New files are found and indexed automatically at startup. The "Keystone" correction has been fixed to work for extreme cases. The rotate and warp functions now have buttons for grid line setup, and grid lines are movable with respect to the image. The user guide now has a summary of recent changes to reduce the effort to keep current. A one-page "quick reference" for all image editing functions has been added to the Help menu. The Debian package now includes all package dependencies.
