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.

DateJan 13, 2010 at 09:34

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.
o  Rotate was made 3x faster (use affine transform instead of trig functions).
o  File save-as dialog was made more clear about file type.
o  Makefile: desktop-menu and manpage made into separate targets.

fotoxx  v.9.4

+ Image files can now be printed using a conventional GTK dialog.
+ File save-as: the displayed file type is updated with user selection.
+ Brightness/color (curve edit) dialog was made more compact.
+ Bugfix: killing a running function could cause malfunctions later.

Changelog:

Several minor improvements and corrections:
Curve edits: stop unintended node creation when mouse is moved rapidly.
Tonemap 2: use full size image for contrast calculations (slower but better).
Tonemap 3: new function: enhance local contrast with halo suppression.
Grid Lines: new function: grid lines to help with unbend/rotate/etc. image alignment.
HDR (2 images) was removed - new HDR (2-10 images) made it redundant.
Bugfix: file save-as: did not always reflect user file type selection in dialog widget.

 fotoxx 9.6
DateFeb 21, 2010 at 17:54

+ Tone mapping: calculations have been made >10x faster.
+ Sharpen (unsharp mask): calculations have been made 2x faster.
+ A fourth tone-mapping method was added.

fotoxx 9.7 /Mar 5, 2010 at 22:18

    * 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.

fotoxx 9.8
DateMar 19, 2010 at 16:35

    * Tone mapping: a gradient method was added, replacing a weaker method.
    * The FreeImage dependency was removed, which simplifies building from source and creating packages. Supported file types are TIFF (1/8/16 bits/color), JPEG, PNG, and BMP.
    * A 3rd sharpen method was added: amplify brightness gradients.
    * Bugfix: F1 context help was not working for the select area dialog.
    * The select area outline color can be toggled red/green/black.

fotoxx 9.9

    * 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.

fotoxx 10.0
DateApr 5, 2010 at 13:42

    * If you are upgrading from a prior version of fotoxx, please pay attention to the next bullet.
    * The EXIF key for user-defined tags was changed to be compatible with most other (Windows) programs that also use tags. A conversion function is provided which should be run before any new image editing is done. A warning at startup is given. See menu: Help > README for details.
    * Bugfix: block editing of thumbnails, prevent thumbnails of thumbnails from being created.
    * Bugfix: small memory leak when new thumbnails were created for new or edited images.

fotoxx 10.1.1

DateApr 14, 2010 at 14:09

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.

fotoxx 10.2
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.
