Fotoxx
Fotoxx is a program for improving digital photos. Navigate large image collections using a pageable window of thumbnails. Create HDR (high dynamic range) images by combining bright and dark images to improve detail in both bright and dark areas. Create panoramas by joining overlapped images. Adjust brightness and color intensity independently for different underlying brightness levels. Rotate an image (level a tilted image or turn 90 degrees). Remove red eyes from electronic flash photos. Sharpen, resize, crop, reduce noise, and change color depth. Warp an image by dragging the mouse. Edit tags/keywords and search images by date or tags.

Changes: Color was added to the emboss effect. A new effect was added to make a photo look like a painting by reducing color depth and merging small patches of a color with adjacent larger patches of the nearest matching color. Reducing color depth no longer causes loss of brightness. Working threads are matched to the number of processors available. Multiple RAW files are processed in batch mode. Images can be selected from thumbnails and sent to Brasero for burning to a CD or DVD. File drag-and-drop was added: a dragged file is opened for viewing or editing. Several other minor enhancements and bugfixes were implemented.

Changes: The Image Tune function has been extended, and color intensity/saturation/balance may optionally depend on pixel brightness (e.g., increased color for darker image areas only). A new function is available to pixelate an image or image area. Pixel editing functionality and the user interface have been improved. An image can now be saved as a JPEG file with any quality/compression level. The Spanish and Galician translations have been updated. A significant bug and two minor bugs have been corrected.

Changes: The newest ufraw command syntax was adapted (old and new both work). Images can now be searched by directory and file names in addition to assigned tags, and wildcards can be used anywhere in the names. Two new photo transforms were implemented: simulated line drawing and simulated shiny metal embossing. A pixel editor was added, with variable brush size and edge blending. One significant and four minor bugs were fixed.

Changes: Scrollbars were removed: you can now scroll a magnified image by dragging the mouse anywhere on the image. A menu function was added to switch among available GUI languages. Three more edit functions now use fast preview. Progress feedback was added for some long-running functions. Several bugs have been fixed. Some functions are slightly faster. Packages have been built for recent releases of Ubuntu.

Changes: Most camera RAW files can now be imported and edited using 16 bits per color. The GUI for brightness and HDR weight adjustments is now a movable spline curve instead of a row of sliders. Rotated images are automatically turned upright. A tilted image can be leveled with the mouse. The undo/redo memory was increased to the last 50 edits. A series of files can be renamed using a base name and sequence number. Perspective problems can be corrected by bending the image using the mouse.
