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's new in Fotoxx 15.02:

• The indexing process for newly added image files was made faster: speedup is about 1.2x for a 7200 rpm disk and 1.9x for an SSD.
• A multi-row panorama capability was added by integrating the Panorama Tools utilities into the Fotoxx menus. Very easy to use.
• Slide Show: the maximum zoom-in speed was increased by 2x. (significant for a large or high DPI monitor or a slow computer).
• Slide Show: the option to show captions/comments can be configured per image, and these can be made to vanish after a specified interval.
• User Settings: Thumbnail file size can be set to 128/256/512 pixels (default 256). 512 is a bit slower but better for a large or high DPI monitor, or when viewing gallery pages with the thumbnail size set to maximum.
• Mashup: mouse-painted image transparencies are easier to control.
• Mashup: transparency blends can be set separately for all 4 image edges.
• Cosmetic improvements for gallery view and metadata short report.
• Startup parameter -nosync was replaced with the more correct -noindex.
• Bugfix: quick rotate 90 degrees: metadata was not being copied.
• Bugfix: crash if switch to gallery view during a slide show transition.
• Bugfix: HDR/HDF/Stack: crash if [cancel] pressed twice rapidly.
