Fotoxx is a free open source Linux program for editing image files from a digital camera. The goal of fotoxx is to meet most image editing needs while remaining easy to use.
The following functions are currently provided:
* Image Navigator: show large image collections as a pageable screen of thumbnail images. Click on a thumbnail to view full-size or begin an edit session.
* Most edit functions described below can be carried out on the entire image or on an area outlined with the mouse, with smooth blending into the surrounding image.
* Adjust brightness / contrast to improve visibility of detail in both bright and dark areas (adjust brightness independently for brighter and darker image areas).
* Flatten brightness distribution - fast, easy method to improve balance and detail.
* Reduce fog or haze by reducing "whiteness" and intensifying colors.
* HDR - high dynamic range imaging: combine an underexposed and overexposed image of the same subject to improve details visible in both bright and dark areas.
* Panorama - stitch two or more images together to make wide images.
* Crop an image (choose area of interest and cut off surrounding margins).
* Rotate an image (level a tilted image, or rotate by 90 degrees).
* Scale an image (reduce or enlarge the pixel dimensions).
* Remove red-eye effect from electronic flash photos.
* Unbend an image with curved or warped perspective.
* Stretch or distort a selected image area to produce strange effects.
* Sharpen an image (reduce blur or fuzziness).
* Blur an image (soften sharp edges, blend out skin spots).
* The prior two functions can be done for the whole image or a selected area.
* Reduce noise in a photo made under low light conditions.
* Reduce color depth (bits per color) (posterize an image).
* Vary color intensity from no color (gray scale) to intensified color.
