fotoxx 8.6
DateOct 13, 2009 at 22:44
An automatic white balance function was added. The success rate for 1-click red-eye removal was raised from 47/54 test cases to 52/54 (drag method is 100% successful but needs more time and care). Convience buttons were added to the HDR final adjustment dialog. A Spanish translation was added for the User Guide "quick guide" section. Bugfix: Image navigation could crash if presented with an empty folder. Bugfix: Zoom-in followed by some edit functions caused the image to be displayed with a false width/height ratio (cosmetic only - edit still worked normally).
Fotoxx: Image editor/viewer
Uploaded v8.6.
Uploaded v8.7.
Area selection using the mouse was extended. The user can switch back and forth among three methods: connect lines from point to point using mouse clicks (as before), drag the mouse for freehand line drawing, and click/drag near an edge to follow the edge. Use right click to undo mistakes or right drag to erase lines before re-drawing them.
Color select: calculation of distances for edge blending is faster (still too slow for large areas).
New: copy a selected area from one image and paste anywhere in another.
Bug fixes: the latest Ubuntu (9.10) revealed two new problems so far: A GDK graphic context used by >1 windows can get their sizes mixed-up. The program exiftool no longer accepts a date without a time appended. Fotoxx was adjusted to accept both the new and old behaviors.
Translations are not updated. These will be notified here when available.
Do you have exiftool for using with puppy 4.31. I searched from the forum, but I was able to only find threads about ufraw.
Anykind of information is welcomed.
.... Sorry. Should have taken eye to the hand. The link was also on the first page. Downloaded and all is well.
Thank you of the workable program.
With best regards

+ Bug fix: tag search by date could omit the first date in a range.
+ New edit function added: flip image vertically or horizontally.
+ Edited files can now be saved as PNG in addition to JPEG and TIFF-8/16.
+ Select area by mouse: algorithm changed to improve visibility of gaps.
+ Select area edge calculation has been made over 10x faster for large areas.
+ Copy and paste area: a copied area can be resized and edge-blended with
the background image at the time it is pasted.
Uploaded v9.0.
2009.12.14 v.9.0
+ HDR can now merge up to 10 images - the user can manipulate image
contributions while monitoring a live output image.
+ Tools > Convert RAW Files - revised to allow selection of one or
many files using a standard file chooser dialog.
+ File > Open RAW - removed. Use Convert RAW Files and select a
single file, which is then converted and opened.
+ Context help via F1 key was added to most dialogs - show relevant
section of the user guide in a popup window which runs parallel.
Good, simple effects
Thankyou muggins,
I just tried this for the first time. i can't believe how easy this makes commonly required transforms such as rotation and cropping. The art transform tools are going to save me a heap of time with a current project.

fotoxx-9.1 no entry in graphic menu
Happy New Year muggins! This is the same problem as the 8.5 version that I reported on 2nd Oct 2009. Please update.
Uploaded v9.2.
Categories=2DGraphics
and it definitely appears in menu for p412 & p431.
To Emil, abushcrafter, munichjohn, and anyone else interested, the problem with fotoxx not appearing in the menu, with p431, was because p431 clobbered the "Graphics" category, and apparently needs some sub-category. So I've changed the .desktop file to have:fotoxx 9.2

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.

exiftool problem in 9.2
I have the same complaint about exiftool not being installed, despite having installed it. It was not a problem in 9,1, but beacma a problem in 9.2.muggins wrote:JustGreg,
regarding the fotoxx's exiv complaint, just install exiftool, from the first post. See:
(N.B. This latest release requires the installation of the attached freeimage library .pet. It also supports usage of exiftool & ufraw, if these are installed.)
