Version 12.09.1 of Fotoxx
Release Notes: RAW files are now visible in the galleries and can be opened and edited with Fotoxx or Ufraw. Batch RAW conversion parameters are user configurable and the process runs faster. A wavelet noise reduction method was adapted from dcraw. A tool to fix chromatic aberration (color fringes) was added. Support for PNG files with 16-bit color was added. A world map shows the locations of geotagged images - click a location to see a corresponding image gallery, view, or edit from there. The vignette function was extended to brighten, darken, or colorize from any image center using a flexible response curve.
Other releases
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.
Release Notes: This release adds translation updates for Catalan, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
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.
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.
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.
