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).

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

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.

@ emil,
Open a console and type "fotoxx" (without quotes)
I don't get a menu entry either but I think this may be a feature of later Puppies. think I read this in one of the four pages on this topic but the Forum is too slow to check now.

Change the category in the .desktop file to a better one say....
eg.
In the file /usr/share/applications/fotoxx.desktop
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Fotoxx
Categories=X-Graphic;
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=fotoxx
Icon=/usr/share/fotoxx/icons/fotoxx.png
GenericName=Digital Photo Editor
Please read up on .desktop files for the future as you may want to teak menu entries!

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.
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:
Categories=2DGraphics
and it definitely appears in menu for p412 & p431.

Don't worry about me I set a custom category anyway so I still have to edit it!

I use Fotoxx to convert a PSD to JPEG file. It worked fine. Fotoxx did complain about the exif tool/library not being available. The installation was to Puppy 4.3.1. Thanks for the pet!

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.)

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.
