Zitat

Two varieties of tone mapping functions were added. These can be used to enhance detail at all brightness levels and are especially useful for retouching HDR composite images.

Bugfix: sharpen via unsharp mask was ignoring the threshold input.

Select area by color was made easier: an optional radius of action was added to quickly incorporate excluded "islands" or push-out area edges. Area edge calculation and blending was made into a separate dialog. The defog function was removed - it duplicated the functions of the brightness and color saturation curves, and also the new tone mapping functions produce better results. For the Blur function, the minimum blur radius was reduced to 0.5 pixels, which is barely perceptible. Two bugs were fixed: (1) Tone mapping with edge blending was causing some pure black pixels to turn white. (2) The edge of a mouse-selected area which also hugs an image edge was not being omitted for the purporse of edge blending.

o New function: image warp using affine transformation, interactive.
o New function: vary brightness across the image (fix vignetting and other issues).
o Improved the initial blending for 3 or more HDR input images.
o Brightness histogram was given greater resolution and a new x-axis scale.

* Revised window update logic to stop CPU hog with fvwm window manager.
* Curve edit: don't lose grip on node when dragging at high speed.
* Select area: simpler and more flexible interface: multiple areas, combine line-drawing and color selection, unselect parts of areas using the mouse.
* Paste area: always paste within the visible (zoomed) window, don't lose grip when dragging a pasted area at high speed.
* Bugfix: burn CD/DVD: when editing the list of files to burn, the mouse position was inaccurate, causing the wrong file to be selected.
* The limits were doubled for the number and and size of tags.
* New function: add multiple tags to many images at once (e.g. initial tagging of many photos of the same subject or event).
* New function: rename many files at once using base name + sequence number.

* Tonemap gradient method was made easier to use and a little faster. The earlier tonemap functions have been removed because the gradient method is stronger and more flexible than any of them.
* Select Area copy and paste has been extended to allow areas to be saved as files and read back later to paste into other images.
* Warn about missing program exiftool only when first image edit is initiated.
* Bugfix: tonemap sometimes did not work within a selected area.

ukopp 3.7

* Improve diagnostics when target file system does not support direct I/O and large files.
* Give up quickly when there are excessive errors (e.g. missing permission).

Makefiles - all program make files were revised to be hopefully more friendly for distro packagers.

Minor feature update and three bug fixes:

* Convert RAW files was made 30% faster on multi-core processors.
* Bugfix: crash on launch if saved fotoxx state file was from a v.9 release.
* Bugfix: pano align image was made small if starting from a zoomed image.
* Bugfix: for installation in /home/<user>/ the menu and launcher did not work.

fotoxx 10.1
DateApr 12, 2010 at 22:45

* Tone-mapping within an area was improved to react live to the blend-width slider.
* The tone-map edit curve scale is better matched to the actual contrast range of the image.
* Tone mapping was made about 50% faster, especially for 1-2 core processors.
* The brightness ramp function was made to work with a select area, like most edit functions.
* If an edit is started and a select area is defined but not finished or enabled, the user is warned.
* New function: clip low/high brightness levels and expand the remaining middle.
* Trim: buttons were added to select from popular aspect ratios.
* Trim: if the selection is moved off the image edge, it is reduced to keep the set aspect ratio.
* The function busy indicator (clock cursor) was made more obvious.
* Changing the GUI language from within the GUI was simplified.

DateApr 23, 2010 at 11:39

Fotoxx 10.2 adds a few minor features and user-interface improvements. A history of edits made on an image is recorded under the EXIF key Edit Status. The View EXIF function updates itself when a new file is opened in the browser. Two new functions were added: add or modify an EXIF key, and delete a specific key or all EXIF data. Undo/redo was added to White Balance. Blend-width was added to the Tile function. Tone Mapping was made about 30% faster for multi-core processors, and progress tracking was added to improve feedback for slow processors. Two minor bugs were fixed.

* The panorama function now obtains lens focal length from EXIF data if available. Lens distortion is still a 1-time manual input, but this can usually be ignored and left at zero.
* The thumbnail gallery browser was made faster and easier for large image directories. A scroll bar was added and the maximum thumbnail size was increased from 256 to 512 pixels.
* A very short "Essentials" section was added at the front of the user guide (for those who hate big user guides). The focus is on unconventional interfaces that are not intuitive.

    * The thumbnail browser is faster and smoother (cpu load is 60% less).
    * Tags now have categories (people, places, events...) to help organize them and to find and select tags more quickly during image editing. This improves the practicality of having hundreds of tags. The user interface was revised - use F1 to view the user guide.
    * Rotated images are uprighted automatically when an edit is started or an image is added to an HDR/HDF/panorama. Formerly this was done only with image viewing.

Fotoxx 10.6 has a few minor improvements and bug fixes.

    * Search Tags was made more consistent with other tag functions: tags are added and removed from the search list with mouse clicks and the [clear] button was removed.
    * HDR: The selected images to combine no longer need to include the current image.
    * File Save-as: A "make new version" check box was added. The image is saved with a new version number, which makes it easier to save an edited image and keep the original. Subsequent saves create increasing version numbers.
    * Bugfix: Edit Tags "admin mode" could be quietly ON even though the checkbox was OFF.
    * Bugfix: The image gallery window was sometimes not fully rendered (easy to compensate but annoying).

Titel: Fotoxx 10.7
Beitrag von: SiLæncer am 09 Juli, 2010, 12:07

Code: [Auswählen]


The composite image functions (HDR, HDF, Panorama) were reworked to extend functionality and improve the user interface. The "current" image no longer needs to be the first image selected, or even included. There is more use of multiple threads to utilize multiple processor cores.

Panorama: Up to four images can be joined (previously only two). The order can be changed during pre-alignment by dragging the images. The brightness and color balance can be changed for any input image after the panorama is completed, and the other images can be matched automatically and/or manually adjusted.

HDF (high depth of field): Up to 9 images can be joined (previously only 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 size differences caused by their different focal lengths.

HDR (high dynamic range) now warps the images if needed to make a more precise alignment. This compensates for camera movement or rotation betweem photos, which can cause non-linear distortions (the image scale increases with increasing distance from the center of the camera sensor). A greater amount of shift or rotation between images can be handled more accurately.

Bugfix: After reporting an error, mass-rename proceeded as if the dialog were completed normally.

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. The GUI part is not needed for Fotoxx.

    * The German translation was updated.
    * More TIFF formats are supported: most formats <= 8-bits per color, and the 16-bit format used for converting RAW files.
    * The GUI layout for editing tags was improved slightly for clarity.

Fotoxx 10.8
DateJul 28, 2010 at 00:37

    * A Portuguese translation was added.
    * New function: mass resize images (for website photo upload, e-mail, etc.).
    * The new Linux standard trash is used for trashed images. If this is not available, the old method is used (trash folder on desktop).
    * Select Area: Draw + follow edge works better for jagged edges.
    * Select Area: Select by color improved: easier to expand selection without leaving unselected "islands", and better control of selection.
    * Thumbnail gallery: added a "list view" option (without thumbnails).
    * HDR/HDF/pano alignment/warp algorithm can handle larger image offsets.
    * HDF interface for fine alignment was made more intuitive: the image mapped to the mouse position is always the one being warped.
    * Live help via F1 key is now available for all functions.
    * The dialog to view and edit EXIF data is updated for each image opened, so that a given EXIF keyword can be viewed, added, or changed quickly (especially good to view or add text comments for a series of images).
    * Mass add tags: select target files from the image gallery window.
    * Save-as with "new version" selected: look for all file versions (not only the version being edited) and use the highest + 1.
    * Minor improvement in warp area algorithm.
    * Bugfix: convert RAW: popup report sometimes omitted a converted file.
    * Bugfix: an image saved as tiff-8 was actually being saved as tiff-16.
    * Bugfix: sporadic crash if a selected area touches an image edge.
    * Bugfix: the color of all edit curves could change sporadically.
    * Bugfix: image_gallery: if the first directory opened is empty and the "parent" button is selected, crash.
    * Bugfix: HDR/HDF sporadically showed a partially black image.

Two bugs have been fixed:

* The previous fix (10.8.2) to include ICC Profile tags in the metadata retained over an image edit was causing some other metadata to be left out. This could be significant for some users.
* If one of the toolbar buttons [prev] or [next] was pressed repeatedly in rapid succession, it would cause a race condition that could lead to application lockup.

This release has many small user interface improvements and bug fixes.

    * Switching the mouse between dialogs and main window was simplified, making it easier to zoom and pan when a dialog owns the mouse or to control two dialogs alternating ownership of the mouse.
    * Select Area by color: in firewall mode, pixels within the mouse radius are unconditionally selected. Left drag now works as an un-select.
    * Select Area by freeform drawing: drawing lines along the edge of the image was made easier.
    * The HDF "paint" mode was made more responsive for slow CPUs.
    * Image captions (IPTC: Caption-Abstract) are now searchable (along with tags, dates, stars, comments and file names). Captions are searched for given words. Run Tools > Rebuild Tags Index to update the search index (one-time conversion job).
    * Data functions (EXIF/IPTC edit, tags, comments, captions) were moved into one menu. Comments and captions were made easier to view and edit with a conventional text edit interface.
    * Info > Search Images: searching file names now works without wildcards 
      (e.g. search "rosi" matches /xxx/rosi/xxx.jpg  and  /xxx/Rosixxx.jpg).
    * Info > Search Images: date range default month/day is 01/01 for low limit and 12/31 for high limit, so search "2009 to 2010" includes two full years.
    * Info > Search Images: "match any" and "match all" can be specified separately for tags, comments/captions, and file names.
    * Rotated images are no longer automatically uprighted. Instead, use the R or L key to permanently fix as needed. This makes viewing images faster since the EXIF data need not be read.
    * File > Open Recent File: the file list automatically drops-down.
    * File > Open Previous File: opens most recent file that still exists.
    * File > Save As with "new version" selected: version naming was changed to reduce the risk of conflict with a user file naming system. 
      Format: originalname.jpg  >>  *.v01.jpg  >>  *.v02.jpg  >>  etc.
    * Buttons [Prev] and [Next] more reliably find previous or next files even if files have been deleted or renamed outside Fotoxx.
    * Dialogs that need significant time now show an hourglass, even when the mouse cursor stays inside the dialog window.
    * Tools > Clone: screen is split 50/50 between the two instances.
    * Transform > Trim: dragging the margins is smoother for slow CPUs.
    * Zoom: limit was raised from 200% to 400%. This makes it easier to do a precise area selection.
    * Annotate Image: text font can be optionally outlined with a different color.
    * The user guide was audited and many small corrections were made.
    * Bugfix: quotes in EXIF/IPTC/etc. data were replaced with escaped quotes to prevent the exiftool command from failing.
    * Bugfix: Area copy and paste: fixed small edge defects that sometimes happened when a pasted area was reduced in size.

* Select Area: rectangular and elliptical areas may now be selected.
* Gallery: notify delay for thumbnail creation when new images are found.
* New slide show transition: ellipse expanding from the center.
* Select Area: edge outlines for freehand draw and follow edge are brighter.
* Panorama: the math was simplified into a pure cylindrical projection.
* Unbend: a panorama curve can be more accurately straightened.
* Smart Erase can work with a tighter area around the object to be erased.
* Printing: the intermediate file was changed from .jpeg to .tiff to correct slight blurring of some color edges visible in high-resolution images.
* Bugfix: crash when reading a 4-channel tiff file in strip format.
* Bugfix: crash if image overlap reaches zero during panorama alignment.
* Bugfix: crash if trying to save a .gif file (now converts to .jpg).

Vertical panorama was implemented (this was previously possible but clumsy).
Slide Show can optionally play a music file or playlist and be launched from the command line.
Initialization for new installs was simplified and the user warning was strengthened (need fewer frustrated users who don't read user guides).
Smart Erase was made easier by combining the select and erase functions in one dialog.
Select ellipse: keep the ellipse centered at the drag origin instead of moving with the mouse.
Select by color: the search range for matching pixels is limited to 3x the mouse radius. This works better, allowing edges with varying tones to be more easily followed and selected. The remaining interior areas can be selected with an extra click in the finish dialog.
Paste Area was made easier to use by eliminating the finish step.
Unbend was extended to bend the horizontal and/or vertical edges linear or curved.
Toolbar buttons were rearranged to reduce the risk of accidentally overwriting the original image.
The total image file limit of 100,000 was removed. The practical limit depends on how much main memory is available for the image search index. 1 GB is enough for >1 million files, and this is only needed when searching.
Bugfix: possible crash in slide show with "ellipse" transitions.
Bugfix: HDF: the first manual alignment tweak caused an annoying random jump.
Bugfix: crash if a startup warning message is left open and then a new file is opened.

The trim (crop) function better handles zoom and scroll. The desired image size can be input directly in addition to the mouse drag method.
Smart Erase was made faster (significant for slow computers).
Create Blank Image: the UI was simplified and a new file is created automatically.
Inform the user if the current search results or named collection must be abandoned to open a non-member image file.

Retouching brightness/color by "painting" with the mouse (dodge and burn) was made much faster (nearly instant response on a fast computer).
If at startup the previous image file is no longer present then a gallery of the 100 most recent files viewed is shown.
New function: Tools > Toolbar Style: set to text, icons, or both.
New function: Tools > Edit Translation: edit translations interactively as Fotoxx is being used. Changes are immediately effective in the running program.
Several other small usability improvements were made.
Minor bugfix: paste area edge blending was losing 1 pixel around the edge.

This caused a misleading diagnostic when building from the source tarball. The diagnostic was eliminated in this release. The .deb and .rpm packages are not affected. If you installed 11.06.1 successfully you do not need this.

Fotoxx 11.07

Translation updates will be notified here when they are ready.
The main image retouch functions can now be used in parallel.
The last position of most windows is saved and restored within and across sessions.
New function Match Colors: take a spot color sample from two images.
The colors of the 2nd image are changed to match the first.
New function Revise RGB: select up to 9 control pixels on an image and adjust their RGB values. All image pixels are adjusted to match, using weights based on distance from the control pixels. Use this function to make complex color adjustments that vary across the image.
Brightness Ramp was revised to handle RGB colors. This is an alternative method to remove a color caste that varies across an image or image area.
Tools > Show RGB: EV and OD units are output in addition to RGB values. Up to five points are shown, updated live as the image is edited.
The Brightness/Color curves now have a range of +/-2 EV (F-stops) and the stepwise adjust buttons are calibrated in 0.1 EV steps. Steps 1/3 this size can also be used. Use this function with Show RGB to make calibrated color adjustments.
Numeric feedback was added to the sliders in retouch edit functions.
Missing gallery thumbnails are generated 2-3x faster (on multi-core processors) using multiple threads working ahead of need (usually).
Clone (new window) now has two variants: share desktop 50/50 or open a new window of the same size, slightly offset for visibility.
Open File now has two variants: use the same window or open a new window in a parallel instance of Fotoxx.
New toolbar button: save file as a new version (immediate, no dialog).
The current image and its edit history remain unchanged.
Save-As menu and toolbar: new checkbox option to switch the current file to the saved file. The edit trail (undo/redo) is also retained.
New command line parameters:
-prev open the last file viewed in the previous session (no longer default).
-recent start with a gallery of recent files (most recent at top).
If the [undo] or [redo] button is pressed with the shift-key, they become "undo all" and "redo all". This makes it easier to compare an image having multiple edits with the original image.
Select Area [Unfinish] button: put a finished area back in edit mode.
Pixel Edit was moved from the Art menu to the Retouch menu.
Hourglass cursor was replaced with a BUSY sign at the bottom of the window.
Toolbar help is a topic help like F1. Menu help opens the user guide.
Bugfix: warp functions were infrequently putting artifacts in the image.
Bugfix: Edit Collections could crash if adds and deletes were mixed.
Bugfix: Select Area Edge Calculation: if killed by user, the area was left in a half finished condition.

An Italian user guide has been added. Thank you, Doriano.
New function DRGB: change brightness and color balance using OD units.
Revise_RGB: added delta mode (show +/- changes from original image).
Show RGB: added EV and OD units, delta mode, and pixel labels on image.
Slide Show: two image transition types were added, "radar" and "jaws".
Slide Show: preferred image transitions can now be selected and are remembered.
A single RAW file can now be opened like any other image file (only needs more time). Batch conversion remains an option to process many files automatically.
Delete Area was renamed to Unselect Area (reduce ambiguity).
If multiple dialogs are open, the F1 help topic is determined by the last dialog actually used.
Bugfix: invalidate a select-area if Undo/Redo changes the image size.
Bugfix: Create Blank Image was getting leftover EXIF data from a prior image.
Bugfix: buffer overflow crash in Russian locale, due to a long translation string. Several other vulnerable places were indentified and fixed.
Bug workaround: crash from GCC 4.5 optimization removing necessary code. Do-nothing code referencing the relevant variable was added to prevent this.
Annoyance fix: rapid repetition of prev/next buttons or arrow keys was sometimes causing a "function still active" popup message which had to be dismissed.
Current bug: On Ubuntu 11.04 Fotoxx refuses to print with small paper formats (A5, A6). Ubuntu 10.10 works OK. I cannot fix this.

This release contains minor bug fixes and user interface improvements.

Print Image File now allows print margins to be set.
The Portuguese translation was brought up to date.
Show RGB: labels on monitored image points were made optional.
Gallery: larger font for file names is used when large thumbnails are used.
Edit Captions and Edit User Comments were combined into one function.

Oct 1, 2011 at 16:26

New function: classic gamma curve edit for brightness and individual RGB colors.
Applicable to the whole image or a selected object/area.
Printing was revised to work better with recent changes in HPLIP that made printing on small paper sizes more difficult. The paper size must be specified in the Printer Properties dialog (the printer admin function) and not in the application program - otherwise the print fails with a "paper mismatch" error. This changed between Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04.
New function: convert a "tetragon" image area into a rectangle. Useful for gallery paintings photographed from the side to avoid reflections, buildings photographed at an angle, etc.
At startup, check for new files and advise if synchronization is needed.
New option: warn if overwriting an original (non-versioned) image file.
Slide Show: stop strange behavior when multiple monitors are used.
Slide Show: option to show only the most recent version of each image.
Slide Show: use spacebar to pause and resume slide show.
Pixel Edit: transparency adjustment steps were made finer.
Code cleanup for new compiler warnings from GCC 4.6 (Ubuntu 11.10).

Creating and editing collections was made easier and more intuitive.
Synchronize Files now runs automatically at startup. Image navigation and viewing is immediately possible but editing is blocked until synchronize is finished (normally a few seconds).
Straighten Image: fix less than optimal results for images needing a large correction. Menu was renamed to Keystone Correction.
New menu: Help > User Guide Changes: summary of changes to reduce effort to keep up.
New menu: Help > Edit Functions Summary: a one-page "quick reference" summary of all the image editing functions.
New user guide topic: organize a large image collection to reduce effort and optimize image searching.
The status bar now shows if a dialog is waiting for input (possibly hidden under another window).
New keyboard shortcut: N = Rename Image File.
Transform and Retouch menus were rearranged to follow typical workflow.
Rotate and warp dialogs have convenience buttons to the grid setup menu.
Grid setup: the grid lines can be moved around over the image using sliders.
New utility: update collections if the top image directory was moved.
The package build method was updated to improve Debian packages and include dependencies on non-library executable programs. The RPM packages have library dependencies only because the package names and contents are different from Debian.

New function: Find bright or dark "stuck" pixels (camera sensor defects - 1x1/2x2/3x3 blocks) and fix them by interpolating neighboring pixels. Pixel locations can be saved and applied later to other images.
Select Area was extended to both select and unselect by matching colors, and the pixel search range was made adjustable 1-20 times the mouse radius.
Batch Resize/Export function now supports output of JPEG, PNG, TIFF. This can be used to select and convert files to a different format.
Convert RAW Files now supports output of JPEG, PNG, TIFF-8, TIFF-16 (was TIFF-16 only).
Warp Area algorithm was made a bit easier to control.
GUI language translation procedure was simplified.
Bugfix: some lost translations of dialog buttons were restored.
Bugfix: Trim dialog mouse ownership was sometimes misleading.
Bugfix: WarpArea did not reset itself if the selected area was changed.

New function Search Metadata: search and report image metadata (EXIF/IPTC/etc.), using a combined image and text display format.
Synchronize Files is 2x faster for an initial installation or after importing a large number of new photos (>1000/min. on a fast PC).
The "my mouse" checkbox was removed from all edit and selection dialogs. The mouse belongs to the last widget clicked. The main window can be zoomed and scrolled during such dialogs by using CTRL + mouse click or drag.
Mouse wheel can do zoom-in and zoom-out.
Zooming an image re-centers it on the mouse position, and the mouse position follows the zoom center to the middle of the window.
Zoom ratio is configurable: choose 1-4 zooms for each 2x increase in size.
DRGB (print color adjuster) can save corrections to a file for re-use.
Some user settings in various menus were collected together in the new menu function Tools > User Settings.

Whats new: >>

Mouse-driven area select and edit functions respond much faster.
The internal image format was changed from int-16 to float-32 per RGB color. This simplified the code and made some edit functions slightly faster. There is no visual impact. The main memory needed to edit a 20 megapixel image has grown to about 800 MB.
The exiftool program is started as a server process and left running. This eliminates a significant startup delay for every image opened.
Indexing of new image files found at startup was made faster.
A toolbar button is used to change the mouse-drawing color for select and edit functions. Similar buttons on many dialogs were removed.
The pixel edit function was made easier and faster to use.
An edited file can be saved in the additional formats .bmp and .ico.
Setting the zoom ratio was simplified: 1, 2, or 3 zooms (clicks) for each 2x increase.
Create Blank Image: the file type can be .jpg, .tif, .png, or .bmp.
The E-mail function was removed because Thunderbird and Evolution do not work (or no longer work) with the "standard" xdg-email protocol for attachments. Use Tools > Batch Convert to select images, export, and reduce size (if wanted) for attaching to e-mail or uploading.
Bugfix: If the top image directory was set to /home/<user>, thousands of unwanted files in /home/<user>/.thumbnails/* were being indexed.
Bugfix: Stack/Noise image alignment was poor if there was significant camera movement between photos.
Bugfix: Progress monitoring for some functions was very inaccurate.
Bugfix: some .gif files produced empty thumbnail images.
Bugfix: file synchronization at startup was sometimes wasting time with unnecessary updates.

New: Retouch > Vignette Tool: change brightness or color in a radial pattern. Make an image with a dark or colored surround, or compensate for a radial brightness falloff in old photos.
Art > Tiles: An optional 3D depth effect was added.
Retouch > Paint Pixels: If a selected area is being used, do edge blending as in other edit functions.
Gamma Curve: Buttons [++] etc. were added as in the brightness/color curves.
Select Area: A "replace" drawing mode was added: nudge an existing edge line with the mouse.
White Balance: A slider was added to attenuate the impact from 0 to 100%.
Gallery window navigation was made a little more flexible.
First time startup: initial thumbnail creation and image file indexing is 2x faster
(2000+ images/minute on a strong PC with 4 cpu cores).
New: Help > Log File: view the current (live) log file for additional information.
Memory allocation failure: exit with a reasonable message instead of crashing.

Thumbnail files are now .jpeg instead of .png. Initialization after a new install is about 40%
faster, and thumbnails are 1/3 as large. Tools > Synchronize Files must be done to implement.
There are now three thumbnail options: no thumbnails, thumbnails in the image
directories (as before), or use a designated thumbnail directory.
The Spanish and Galician translations were updated (as of version 12.05).
Package exiftool version 8.60 or later is now required (Ubuntu 11.10 or later).
New: List geotag groups (city, country, date, image count), click on a group to show a
thumbnail gallery of corresponding images, click thumbnails to view or edit.
User-added and revised geotag locations are now separated from the downloaded set,
to make them easier to keep when changing computers or Linux releases.
Geotag search for "null" can be used to find images with go geotags
(also within other search criteria such as date or tags).
New: "Voodoo" retouch function improves most images with one click.
Flatten Distribution: prevent "banding" in monotone bright areas.
Rotate function user interface was improved and made more responsive.
Keyboard shortcuts can be revised and new ones added by the user.
Stop popup messages from getting hidden behind other windows.
Block "save to file" if an edit dialog is active (because of unpredictable result).
Edit history log was moved from EXIF:EditStatus to EXIF:ImageHistory (de facto standard).
Metadata reports now use EXIF tag names instead of tag descriptions.
These are what is needed to directly edit metadata.
Slide Show: added a continuous loop option (last goes back to first).
Trim: a new option was added to start automatically for each new file opened.
This helps work through a batch of new photos more quickly.
Trim: a convenience button was added to do Rotate and then return to trim.
The [prev] and [next] buttons pre-load the next file ahead of need.
This can speed-up sequential viewing of images on a slow computer.
F11 now toggles the main window to full-screen (no menu/toolbar) and back.
Bugfix: geotag retrieval failed with photos from some cameras.
Bugfix: Keyboard shortcut T (for Trim) caused a crash.

The size of a printed image (in centimeters) can be set in advance.
A 1-click sepia coloring was added (aged photo effect).
If Linux standard trash and desktop trash folder both fail (possible with some distros) give the option to simply delete the image file.
Painting and scrolling the gallery window was made faster.
Navigating the gallery window to other directories was simplified.
A gallery from an image search or collection can be discarded and replaced with a directory gallery using a toolbar button. Open file button also works.
Bugfix: Edit Collections: keep the gallery window scroll position stable when adding or removing images from a collection.
Bugfix: If the initial gallery window is list view (no thumbnails), then the gallery window displays only a blank window.
Bugfix: Crash if a retouch function is "painted" with the mouse and and the function is canceled before any change is made.
Bugfix: Show RGB [clear] button cleared image labels but not the dialog itself.

+ Bugfix: PNG images with 16-bit color were being written with the bytes
swapped, making them incompatible with Gimp and other editors.
+ Bugfix: geotag search for city/country was not working if latitude
and longitude were left at "null" (i.e. values never input).

Whats new: >>

The user interface was revised for faster workflow when processing multiple photos:

An edit function can be started without closing a prior active edit function. The prior edit becomes the new base and an undo/redo position is added automatically.

You can step through a series of images with an open edit function. Apply the function to an image or pass over by pressing the [next] button.
Brightness and color functions can recall prior settings for faster application to other photos made under the same lighting conditions.

Other changes:

RAW files are now edited like other image files. Auto-copy to TIFF-16 is no longer done. Edit as usual and save in the desired format (TIFF/PNG/JPEG, 8/16 bit color).
Add Text: new option: retrieve and edit metadata caption/comments.
Captions: new option: show metadata caption/comments above each image.
Move Collections is more flexible: any pathname segment can be replaced.
Some intermediate files now use ramdisk for a small performance gain.
Mashup: move layout images in 1-pixel steps with the keyboard arrow keys.
Mashup: internal speedups, especially when painting transparency.
New Slide Show transition type: double doors open from the middle.
Log file output was made always current, like a terminal session.

Bug Fixes:

Unsaved edits were lost if the [next] button was used beyond the last image file.
Curve nodes were lost when reloading saved complex edit curves.
Mashup: fix erratic overlay image corner drag behavior.

Index Image Files (aka Synchronize) runs faster. Intermixing image files with
100K other files under /home/user/... has little effect on speed.
Startup time is also faster for the normal case of few new image files.
Retouch Combo: sliders were added for fast adjustment of overall brightness,
contrast and color. The curves can then be hand-tuned if needed.
Slide Show: a new transition type simulates turning a book page.
Slide Show: images are clipped to exactly fit the monitor if the difference
in aspect ratio is less than a predefined limit.
Slide Show: optionally show captions/comments above each image.
The batch Rename and Convert functions were combined for convenience.
Batch Convert has a new option to automatically sharpen images.
Paint/Clone: a "shadow" paintbrush tracks the source of copied pixels.
Retouch Combo, Trim/Rotate and Resize can recall prior settings for easier application to multiple images needing similar treatments.
Mashup: resizing/rotating an overlay image with the mouse is smoother.
Editing in a selected area: edge blending was made a bit smoother.
Search Images: select a gallery (thumbnails) report or a tabular report for
listing desired metadata along with a thumbnail image.
Block metadata edits for image types not supporting this (e.g. bmp, gif).
Bugfix: Texture function converted RGB 0/0/0 pixels into illegal values.

(e.g. make an image seem painted on canvas or a brick wall).
New slide show transition: Ken Burns effect (slow zoom-in).
Mashup transparencies can be adjusted instantly as well as gradually.
Several small user interface changes were made for convenience and consistency with common practices. Speed was also improved.
Keyboard shortcuts editing was simplified.
Leverage Edits was removed (this is more easily done with Paint Edits).

create a line or arrow and then drag the end-points into final position.
Gallery popup image improvements: window fits image without margins, window and image can be scaled up or down with the mouse wheel.
New setting: Monitor scale: adjust panel scale for high DPI monitor.
Bugfix: Image date and size in the search index were not always updated when changed (this error fixed itself at the next Fotoxx startup).
Bugfix: The Print Image function with grid lines enabled did not print the horizontal grid lines clearly (adjacent black and white lines).

Fotoxx 14.09

31/8/2014

This release makes improvements and fixes annoyances in the user interface.

Dialogs set focus back to the main window after use of the [apply] or [next] button, so subsequent KB shortcuts will work without extra mouse action.
File Save: both unsaved metadata edits and image edits are now saved.
(Using [apply] in a metadata dialog saves only the metadata changes.)
Display "no more images" after deleting the last image in the current gallery (otherwise the window goes inexplicably blank).
Additional dialogs now restore previous inputs, also across sessions.
Search Images: if time is omitted in a date/time search range, then 00:00 or 23:59 is defaulted for the start or end time respectively.
Search Images: new option: include only the latest version of each image.
Batch Convert: If image files are renamed or moved and the originals are deleted, collections containing the images are updated automatically. The problematic Move Collections function was removed.
Gallery popup images: new option: use the same window or open another window when a thumbnail is clicked. The one window option is effectively a combined image and gallery view, with adjustable allocation of screen space between the two views, and two-click selection of each image to view.
Area Select: select by matching colors was made a little smarter.
Gallery Selection: the selection list is scrolled to keep new insertions in view.
There is a new utility function to find and display all duplicate images.
Slide Show: new option to auto-replay after reaching the end.
Bugfix: Manage Collections: dragging a thumbnail to the bottom of the gallery window would not scroll up if the window was maximized.

Plugin interface was broken. If a plugin function was used for the initial edit of an image file, a crash resulted.
Ukopp 5.3 released

8/4/2015

Copying file owner and permissions to the backup location is now optional.
This is useful if the backup location is a Microsoft file system, which does not support Linux owner and permissions. Note that owner and permissions data
is still copied to the backup location in an extra data file, and if files are later restored, owner and permissions are also restored. This works even if the
backup location is a Microsoft file system.
Bugfix: The following job logic was made to work properly:
include /home/mike/* # include everything
exclude /home/mike/docs/* # exclude docs/*
include /home/mike/docs/* (30,3) # re-include with version retention
The last record adds a version retention rule only for .../docs/*
(retain all versions 30 days, retain last 3 versions indefinitely).

Fotoxx 15.04 Released

Changelog

Image Index:

Fotoxx startup is much faster when there are few new image files to index.
Huge galleries also display faster. The image index file is converted to a new format. The old file is kept for safety, and can be deleted later.
Indexing can be completely bypassed if Fotoxx is started from a file manager
(e.g. Nautilus) to open a selected file, which displays instantly. Image edits
work normally. Search and map functions are disabled because they require
the image index. The index can be updated on demand or the next time
Fotoxx starts normally. Set options using Tools > User Options.

Gallery View:

Galleries with images from multiple directories (from a search function, recent
images query, timeline report, etc.) now include the lowest level directory name
in addition to file name, photo date and thumbnail image.

User Options:

view last file version only:

This option now affect both image file view and gallery view. If set, only
the latest version of each image file is shown, also in gallery pages.
Albums and results from search functions are not affected.

Maps:

A user can optionally use the Mapbox map source by acquiring an access key.
These are free for moderate map usage (50,000 tiles per month). See the
User Guide for a description of the differences and how to obtain a key.

Batch Convert:

Inserting plugin text in the output file names was simplified. Photo dates
(from EXIF metadata) can be inserted into the output file names.

Main:

The user data in /home//.fotoxx can now be located wherever wanted.
This also enables multiple image collections, managed separately.

Search:

The report by location and date-group and the timeline report were made
more elegant with non-scrolling table headers. Click on a table position to
get a corresponding thumbnail gallery of images.

Gallery sort by photo date:

Multiple edit versions of the same photo had accidental order because they
all have the same photo date. Resolved by using file mod date as tie breaker.

Bugfix:

User Options: If a font was selected that had no monospace implementation,
some report formats looked horrible. A generic monospace font is now used.
Gallery sort by photo date was incorrect after editing any photo dates
(self-corrected after displaying some other gallery and then coming back).
When saving a modified image as a new file or version, some obscure
ITPC metadata was not being copied to the new file.
Trim/Rotate: the [+90] and [-90] buttons failed if pressed multiple times.

+ Report by location and date-groups: If only a country is selected, the
output gallery did not include all locations within that country.
+ Metadata report: Failed if no prior reported items list was found.
+ Sort gallery by file or photo date: Avoid sorting subdirectories
(leave them at the top of the list and in alphabetic order)

Version 19.0 (Jan 2019) - changes from prior version 18.07 (July 2018)
-----------------------
Functional Changes:
• Menus were unified to be the same for all views: File, Gallery, Map.
(Reduce confusion for new users and generally improve ease of use.)
• The top 3 menu buttons (File, Gallery, Map) can set the respective view mode
with mouse right-click. Left-click opens the function menu [unchanged].
• Galleries can now be sorted by file size [bytes] or image size [pixels].
• Zoom behavior change: zoom size and position is now retained when stepping
through a series of images. Use the Z key to return to 'fit window' mode.
• Map View: zoom in/out with left/right click as alternative to mouse wheel.
• Manage Albums: removing or moving multiple images within or across albums
was made easier. There are two new mass change utilities for updating album
files after multiple images have been edited and saved as new versions.
Create Album has the option to immediately select initial files.
• New [arty] Warp functions: Inside-out, Tiny Planet, Stretch.
• New [arty] Effects function: Dither: 4 ways to posterize/pixelize an image.
• New Combine function: Stack/Layer: stack multiple edits of the same image,
select which version is shown in each image area by mouse painting/blending.
• New Color Balance function: automatic white balance and black level.
The white balance spot-click option also has an improved algorithm.
• Search Images: metadata search: new convenience pick-list of likely items.
• The escape key can now be used to terminate some long-running functions
(focus must be on main window, not on a dialog window).
• Select Area Finish: (validate and check for outline gaps) areas selected by
mouse-painting or color-matching are now automatically finished. Areas
outlined by hand can be finished individually (as before) or all at once.
• Copy/Move image file: now includes optional rename.

Technical Changes:
• The index format was revised. Re-indexing of image collection is required.
(will run faster than usual because new thumbnails are not needed).
• Crash [zappcrash] file is now copied to the desktop. The previous 'pop-up'
approach was not reliable for all Linux window manager flavors.
• The fotoxx-appimage package no longer needs the Exiftool package.
This is now included within the appimage container.
• The term 'folder' has replaced 'directory' in dialogs and the User Guide.
• Many image edit dialogs were formatted smaller to cover less image area.
• Many dialog and report windows now remember their last user-adjusted size.
This compensates for size variability from font, language, and metadata.
• 'Sync Gallery' now has the more sensible name 'Source Folder'.
(you will need to edit your shortcuts list to match the new name)
• Maximum image size was increased to 500 megapixels (8 GB unpacked)
(at least 32 GB main memory is needed to edit images this large).
• The Fotoxx server process [exiftool] for handling metadata will no longer
persist as a zombie if the main process is killed or exits abnormally.
• Slide Show: image pan/zoom was made fast enough for use with a 4K monitor
driven by a typical desktop computer (4 processor cores, 2+ GHz).
• Thumbnail files corresponding to invalid top image folders are no longer
deleted. This is to reduce indexing time for an external disks that is
sometimes present [mounted] and sometimes not.

Bug Fixes:
• Replace Album File: failed to use the original [unedited] image file as
the prior version for the first edited version.
• Magnify function: scrambled the image in areas having transparency.
• Drag and drop album image - gallery could continue scrolling after drop.
• Race condition crash - gallery initialization and preload-thumbs thread.
• Script file containing multiple edit functions: it was possible for an
edit function to start before the prior edit function was completed.
• Retouch function used in a script: failed to process curve settings.
• Bad metadata (e.g. year 0000) could cause date-based reports to fail.
• Manage Albums: Remove cache files: crash if select albums and then cancel.
• Index function: nested [overlapping] folders were not being rejected.
• Rare failure in undo/redo was fixed: "resource temporarily unavailable".
• Copy to Desktop omitted edits that had not yet been saved to a file.
• An incorrect resource locking method was causing [rare] UI lockups.
