Version 12.10 of Fotoxx
Release Notes: This release focuses on the user interface and efficiency. The user guide and F1 help is now available in Spanish. A custom graphics menu in a popup window was added. Desired functions can be added and arranged to taste using the mouse. The search index is more efficient: metadata edit and image search should remain fast beyond 500K images. Large images open 30% faster and memory usage is down. RAW files can be opened in Ufraw (menu or thumbnail click). Batch RAW conversion now has a dialog to configure options. An alternate pan/scroll mode was added: image sticks to the mouse pointer.
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.
