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.

12.05

22 Apr 2012 18:43

Release Notes: Image geotagging and reporting was added. Multiple images can be processed rapidly, and batch processing is also available. Images can be searched by city (and optionally country) and within a kilometer range. Output is a gallery of clickable thumbnails. The database has 3000+ world cities, augmented by any new geotags assigned. 1-click Web sourcing is also provided. The Search Images function was simplified. Searching by date, rating, tags, comments, caption, filename, geotags, and any other metadata is in one dialog with buttons to select options. Four bugfixes were made.

12.04

01 Apr 2012 12:54

Release Notes: Selecting an area by matching color tones is now smoother and more responsive. An unwanted object can be overpainted using a background taken from elsewhere in the image. A new vignette tool can create a dark or colored surround of the central area, or remove a radial brightness falloff in an old photo. The border of a selected area can be adjusted incrementally using the mouse. Indexing and thumbnail creation for newly-found images has been made faster, over 2,000/minute on a strong computer. Seven other minor improvements have been made, and one significant bugfix.

12.03.2

14 Mar 2012 21:23

Release Notes: Bugfix: Select Area > Finish recently started crashing in some Linux distributions. A workaround was implemented: remove calls to gdk_flush(). This may make Fotoxx appear to "freeze" for a short time during Select Area > Finish if the area is a large one.

12.03.1

04 Mar 2012 19:49

Release Notes: Two minor bugs were fixed. The Select Area cancel button did not kill the Finish process but waited for it to complete. Retouching a zoomed image caused a change in aspect ratio that self-corrected afterwards.

12.03

01 Mar 2012 23:10

Release Notes: The focus for this release is speed and interface improvements. Mouse-driven area-selection and edit respond much faster. Indexing of new files at startup is much faster. The exiftool program is started as a server process and left running, eliminating a significant delay for every image opened. The internal image format was changed from int-16 to float-32 per color. This simplified the code and made some edit functions slightly faster, but more memory is used: about 800 MB to edit a 20 megapixel image. There are several other small improvements, 1 significant bugfix, and 5 minor ones.
