Fotoxx is an all-in-one complex image editor and collection manage open source graphical software. It provides users with powerful tools for manipulating image files made with a digital camera.
Features at a glance
The application features brightness and contrast functionality, allowing users to change bright and dark image areas independently, the ability to reduce haze and intensify colors, as well as HDR support, so you can merge underexposed and overexposed images, while improving detail in both bright and dark areas.
It can also create panorama images, allowing users to stitch multiple images together, as well as the usual crop, rotate, flip, resize, red-eye removal, sharpen fuzzy edges, reduce noise in low-light photos, stretch, and distort functionality.
Another interesting feature is the ability to use 24 bits per color in internal edit calculations. It removes color castes, reduces sharpen and blur, expands or flattens brightness distribution, fixes brightness uniformity issues, and removes dark spots on scanned slides.
What New in version 15.10 :
- New: Batch Scripts: Perform a series of image edits while recording all menu and dialog inputs into a script file. Execute the script file to apply the same edits to multiple images selected from gallery pages.
- Calibrate Printer: algorithm was improved for slightly more accurate colors.
- Edit curves: The capture distance for mouse selection of nodes to drag is now adjustable (increase the default value to make touchpads easier to use).
- Batch Add/Change Metadata: added a pick-list for commonly used keywords.
- Geographic maps: mouse distance to trigger a popup location name was made independent of map scale (10 pixels instead of 10 km).
- Bugfix: gallery file selection: clicking on a file name in the list of selected files was sometimes inaccurate and selected the wrong file.
- Bugfix: setting a geotag by clicking a map location did not allow an initial location to be revised by clicking somewhere else.
