Fotoxx

Fotoxx navigates an image collection using a thumbnail browser to choose images to view or edit. Edit functions include brightness, contrast, color, gamma, white balance, tone mapping, red eyes, sharpen, blur, noise suppression, smart erase, trim (crop), resize, rotate, add text, bend/warp, many art effects, HDR, HDF, stack, and panorama. Edit functions use movable curves and sliders. Feedback is live using the whole image. RAW files can be edited and saved with deep color. Areas or objects can be selected using freehand draw, follow edge, and tone matching. Selections can be edited in place with adjustable blending. They can also be cut and pasted into other images. Any metadata can be edited, reported, and searched (filenames, tags, dates, geotags, comments, captions, ratings, etc.). Collections (arbitrary subsets) can be defined and viewed. Batch functions are available for rename, resize/export, RAW conversion, and more.

02 May 2013 23:27

Release Notes: The user guide is now available in Spanish. The menu names for edit functions were made more conventional. A user guide addition describes how to make an ImageMagick function into a Fotoxx function. An anti-alias edit function was added (suppress pixelation or "jaggies"). There are several more small interface improvements and minor bugfixes.

13.04.1

10 Apr 2013 12:09

Release Notes: This release adds translation updates for Catalan, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

13.04

02 Apr 2013 12:34

Release Notes: The commonly used edit functions can be more easily applied to a series of images (e.g. for the initial processing of fresh images from a camera). The Ubuntu launcher has three options: blank window, last image viewed, or a gallery of recent images. Rotate +90 and -90 can have user-defined keyboard shortcuts. The escape key can be used to cancel dialogs. The parameter "jpeg quality" is adjustable and saved across sessions. Two minor bugs were fixed.

13.03

01 Mar 2013 22:56

Release Notes: The Reduce Noise function was simplified, and combining methods was made easier. Warp Area was improved, making it easier to get desired results. For Warp Curved, the radius of mouse influence was made adjustable. Keyboard Shortcuts now uses a GUI instead of a text file. A new Bookmarks capability enables jumps to saved gallery positions. Write Text has better text rendering and supports larger font sizes. Menu names and function groupings were made more logical. Diagnosis and notification of slowdowns from a memory shortage was improved. Five minor bugs were fixed.

13.02

01 Feb 2013 23:19

Release Notes: Color space conversion is supported using LCMS (e.g. Adobe RGB <--> sRGB). A photo of a page in a thick book can be squared and flattened; the print is stretched out where the page curves down at the binding. A photo can be converted into a cartoon-like drawing. The thumbnail gallery view has three sort options: file name, file mod date, and photo date (EXIF). Metadata is kept when a RAW file is converted to TIFF/JPEG/PNG. Brightness distribution graph allows selection of colors, and reflects only the visible part of a zoomed image. One significant and three minor bugs were fixed.
