| About fotoxx |
Fotoxx is a free open source Linux program for photo editing and collection management. The goal is to meet most user needs while remaining fast and easy to use.
Navigate a large image collection with a thumbnail browser. Import camera RAW files and edit with 16-bit color. Save edited images as TIFF-8/16, PNG, or JPEG with adjustable compression. Edit the whole image or a selected area, with adjustable edge-blending. Edit functions have live feedback using the whole window. Multiple undo/redo. Add tags, dates, and star-ratings to images. Search images using these criteria or (wildcard) file names.
Edit functions include:
+ Brightness and color adjustments using movable curves
+ Flatten brightness distribution (frequent quick fix)
+ Sharpen, Blur, Noise reduction, Red-eye removal
+ Trim, Rescale, Rotate any angle, Flip horizontal/vertical
+ Tone mapping (enhance detail at all brightness levels)
+ Vary brightness over image (e.g. fix vignetting)
+ Panorama / HDR / HDF composites with auto alignment
+ Warp (stretch/distort) image by dragging the mouse
+ Artful transforms (simulate drawing, painting, embossing)
+ Pixel edit with variable brush and blending

Utility functions include:
+ Batch rename using a base name and sequence number
+ Select image area/object for editing or copy/paste
+ Tag (keyword) editing and searching
+ Slide-show mode
+ Batch convert multiple RAW files to TIFF-16
+ Select images from the navigator and burn a CD or DVD
+ View or modify EXIF data (technical data from camera)
+ Monitor color check
+ Brightness distribution graph with live display
+ Print image using standard formats or custom dimensions
+ Context dependent help (F1 key)
+ Comprehensive user guide (English)
Hardware: Fotoxx works best on a fast computer with at least a gigabyte of memory. Multiple processor cores are utilized. Netbooks work adequately, but some functions will be slow and a 1024x600 screen is confining.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.8.x.
Other dependencies include:
source build: libgtk2.0-dev, libtiff4-dev
run time: libtiff4, exiftool, ufraw-batch, xdg-utils

| Latest Version: 10.7 |
The composite image functions were reworked to extend functionality and improve the user interface. There is more use of multiple threads to utilize multiple processor cores.
Panorama: Join up to four images (previously two). Drag small images to rearrange. Brightness and color balance can be changed for any image after the panorama is completed, and the others can be matched automatically and/or manually adjusted.
HDF (high depth of field): Up to 9 images can be joined (previously 2). After automatic alignment is complete, the images can be dragged and warped to tweak their alignments if needed. This can compensate for camera movement between photos and for image size differences caused by their different focal lengths.
HDR (high dynamic range) now warps the images if needed for more precise alignment. This compensates for camera movement or rotation betweem photos, causing non-linear distortions. A greater amount of shift or rotation between images can be handled more accurately.
Bugfix: After reporting an error, mass-rename proceeded anyway.
Mass-rename: The "-" separator between the base name and sequence number was removed. The user can supply whatever is wanted, or nothing.
The startup dependency check for ufraw was changed to ufraw-batch.
