This software allows you to create nice-looking photo galleries for the Web. You simply select or drag and drop folders containing images or movie files onto JAlbum, and it creates thumbnails and HTML pages to publish your images as a gallery or as a picture slide show. The galleries are based on various templates, and their appearance can be further customized by advanced users. The application's additional features include support for IPTC/EXIF data, style sheets, lossless image manipulation, pluggable image filters, and a built-in FTP client.

Release Notes

News and Updates:

Support for MPEG-4 audio file added (.m4a extension).
Internal music player updated to play both m4a, wav and mp3 files.
Defaults can now be stored and applied on a per-skin basis. See "File->Save as Skin Default"
Cut+Paste support added. This mimics the Cut+Paste behavior in Windows Explorer and facilitates moving album objects around. Just select some album objects to move, hit CMD/CTRL+X, go to the destination folder and location and hit CMD/CTRL+V to paste the objects. The objects will be pasted close to the mouse pointer location. This feature will probably be appreciated by those who organize huge albums and feel uneasy with dragging and dropping and the scrolling it usually involves.
Updated bundled Minimal and Tiger skins

Bug fixes:

Fix to "directory already exists" error during ftp upload
IPTC keywords weren't imported properly if they were semicolon separated

Darktable is an open source photography workflow application and RAW developer. A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. It manages your digital negatives in a database, lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable and enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.

License:  GPL v3

Changelog

The Big Ones

    A new module for haze removal
    The local contrast module can now be pushed much further, it also got a new local laplacian mode
    Add undo support for masks and more intelligent grouping of undo steps
    Blending now allows to display individual channels using false colors
    darktable now supports loading Fujifilm compressed RAFs
    darktable now supports loading floating point HDR DNGs as written by HDRMERGE
    We also added channel specific blend modes for Lab and RGB color spaces
    The base curve module allows for more control of the exposure fusion feature using the newly added bias slider
    The tonecurve module now supports auto colour adjustment in RGB
    Add absolute color input as an option to the color look up table module
    A new X-Trans demosaicing algorithm, Frequency Domain Chroma, was implemented.
    You can now choose from pre-defined scheduling profiles for OpenCL
    Speaking of OpenCL, darktable now allows to force-use OpenCL for a specific pixelpipe
    XMP sidecar files are no longer written to disk when the content didn’t actually change. That mostly helps with network storage and backup systems that use files’ time stamps

New Features And Changes

    Show a dialog window that tells when locking the database/library failed
    Don’t shade the whole region on the map when searching for a location. Instead just draw a border around it.
    Also in map mode: Clear the search list and map indicators when resetting the search module.
    With OsmGPSMap newer than version 1.1.0 (i.e., anything released after that OsmGPSMap version) the map will show copyright info.
    Running jobs with a progressbar (mostly import and export) will show that progress bar ontop the window entry in your task bar – if the system supports it. It should work on GNOME, KDE and Windows at least.
    Add bash like string replacement for variables (export, watermark, session settings)
    Add a preferences option to ask before removing empty dirs
    The “colorbalance” module got a lot faster, thanks to SSE optimized code
    Make gradient sliders a little more colorful
    Make PNG compression level used for exporting configurable
    On OSX, load single images from command line or via drag&drop in darkroom mode
    Add an option to omit the intermediate tag hierarchy in exported files and only add the last level
    In the watermark module, sort the list of SVG files and omit the file extension
    Support XYZ as a proofing profile
    Local contrast now got a new slider to set the midtone range
    darktable got two new helper scripts (those are not installed by default, grab them from the sources)
        One to purge thumbnails that no longer have an associated image in the database,
        and a second script that uses inotify to watch a folder for new files to open them in a running darktable instance.
    In the curve editors of base curve and tone curve you can now delete nodes with a right click and see coordinates of nodes while editing. Note that you can use keyboard modifiers ctrl and shift to change the precision of your changes
    Creating a new instance of a module can now be done with a quick click of the middle mouse button on the multi-instance icon
    New darktable installations on computers with more than 8 Gb of memory will now by default use half of that per module
    Several background colors and the brush color are now configurable in the CSS
    Some new cameras can bump the ISO level to insane highs. We try to follow as good as we can by no longer limiting it to 51200 in the GUI
    Base curve and the highlights module now support multiple instances and use blending and masks
    Having the 1 key toggle between 1 and 0 stars wasn’t very popular with many people. You can disable that extra feature and have it behave like the other rating shortcuts now
    You can decide if you want to be asked before resetting the history stacks of images from the lighttable
    The grain module was slightly changed to have a more pleasing, photographic-paper like appearance
    Using the color look up table module you can now convert your images to monochrome, honoring the Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect
    Support basic import of Lightroom 7 settings
    Change the styling of insensitive bauhaus widgets
    Don’t hide the mode combobox in the exposure module, just disable it
    Read primaries and whitepoint from .hdr files and default to those as the input color profile
    Some more small improvements were made

Bugfixes

    Fix the problem with rating images by accident when moving the mouse while typing an image size in the export module
    Fix several oddities in folder and tag mode of the collect module
    Print mode’s color profile settings no longer interact with the export module
    Update the style lists when importing a style
    Fix some bugs with multiple module instances used in a style
    On OSX only the main window should be fullscreen, not the popups
    Some speedups with VERY big libraries or having A LOT OF tags
    Significantly speed up tagging many images
    Fix searching locations using OpenStreetMap
    Fix partial copies of large files in “import from camera”
    Fix a crash in the import dialog when using Lua to add widgets there
    Fix some false-positive warnings about another running darktable instance and it having locked the databases
    No longer switch to the favourite modules group when duplicating one of its modules
    Fix loading of XYZ files
    Fix Lab export when the profile was set from the lighttable
    Create temporary snapshot files with mode 0600 to stop other people looking at them
    Fix several bugs with Wayland. However, there are still issues, so darktable will prefer XWayland
    Google deprecated the Picasa Web API so it’s no longer possible to create G+ albums
    Fix the default for sliders with target not being “red” in the channel mixer
    Fix the removal of directories
    Make the escape key cancel history dialogs
    Block keyboard accels when editing camera controls
    Properly delete XMP sidecars
    Make sure that the rating set in darktable is used for the exported file, not something set inside the raw file
    Don’t re-write all XMP files when detaching a tag
    Sync XMPs when a tag is removed from the database
    Sync XMPs after a tag is attached/detached via the Lua API
    Bail out of darktable-cli when the XMP file is not readable
    Show ratings on zoomable lighttable without a delay
    Rely on CUPS color management when printing without configuring any color profile in darktable
    Fix spurious segfault in local contrast
    Make calls to exiv2’s readMetadata thread safe to not crash randomly
    Properly read Lightroom XMPs on systems with , as the decimal separator
    Fix setting the PNG bit depth from the gui
    Many more bugs got fixed

Lua

    darktable now uses Lua 5.3. The bundled copy got updated accordingly
    Add dt.print_log. It’s like print_error but without the ERROR prefix
    Reorder callback parameters for intermediate export image: add the actual image to the parameters of the event
    Call lua post-import-image event synchronously
    Add darktable.configuration.running_os to detect the OS darktable is running on
    New widget type: section_label, adds a label which looks like a section change

Changed Dependencies

    CMake 3.1 is now required
    In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-5.0+/clang-3.4+
    ZLIB is now required for the DNG Deflate compressed raw support
    darktable now uses Lua 5.3

Camera support, compared to 2.2.0
Warning: support for Nikon NEF ‘lossy after split’ raws was unintentionally broken due to the lack of such samples. Please see this post for more details. If you have affected raws, please contribute samples!

Alternate Pic View is a program that enables you to view image files and make some adjustments. It supports multiple formats, including BMP, JPG, PCX, TGA and WMF.

The interface of the application is familiar and easy to work with. Images can be imported with the help of the file browser or 'drag and drop' method. So, you can use some basic editing tools, such as line, arrow, rectangle, freehand, fill, text and pen, along with the undo and redo functions. But you can also zoom in and out, switch to full screen mode, create a slideshow, enable thumbnail view mode, crop a selection and make Alternate Pic View retain the EXIF/IPTC information.

Alternate Pic View allows you to apply several effects to the pictures; they revolve around rotation, mirror, flip, invert, sharpen, blur, contrast, brightness, pixelization, noise and red eye removal, just to name a few.

The graphic editing tool supports keyboard shortcuts and multiple languages for the interface, has a good response time and contains user documentation. We have not come across any issues throughout our testing; Alternate Pic View did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs throughout our testing.  Thanks to its intuitive layout, less experienced users can easily find their way around this app.

FastPhotoTagger is an application designed to help you open and preview images in order to  view, edit and set their tags and metadata. By defining abbreviations for the most common tag values, you can tag an image with a few keystrokes in a matter of seconds.

Here are some key features of "FastPhotoTagger":

· Set multiple images to have the same tag values
· Set individual images to have unique tag values
· Choose the metadata fields to work with
· Define abbreviations for the most common tag values
· Modify or undo tag changes before committing to image files

License : GPL

Changelog

On the Metadata Panel, pressing one Change button now causes all Change buttons to be pressed.
On the "Program Settings / Other" panel, "Change Sorting Method" has been added.You may choose to sort thumbnails in the application window by the value of one of your metadata tags and may sort ascending or descending. (Note that some Exiftool pseudo-tags, e.g., File:System:FileModifyDate, are refreshed only when the folder is re-opened.)
Thumbnail labels are now updated immediately when a metadata change is initiated, rather than after the change is written to the image file. (Note that some Exiftool pseudo-tags, e.g., File:System:FileModifyDate, are refreshed only when the folder is re-opened.)
In "Program Settings / Slideshow" you may now choose to overlay the caption on top of the image rather than next to it.
When viewing images or slideshows, you may now zoom images up to their actual size using "+" and "-" keys, mouse wheel, and double click. Click and drag to pan the image.
"Program Settings / Other / Change Background Color" now changes the metadata panel and view/compare metadata screens, as well as the application window.
"Program Settings / Other / Change Background Color" now works better when used in conjunction with Windows high contrast themes. If you also need to change the blue panel background, please contact the author.
The number of images that can be displayed in a folder or a search is now limited in order to prevent "out of memory" conditions that can slow or hang FastPhotoTagger. More memory can be requested on the command line. See Limitations:Memory management.
The High Efficiency Image Format file extensions heif and heic are now recognized as image types. These images and their thumbnails are not viewable. Not all metadata tags are writable. See Exiftool's documentation.
The Sony arw RAW image type is now recognized.
Fixed: Automatically writing to a second flattened keyword field did not work. Check in your hierarchical keyword settings that only one tag shows in each column.
Fixed: Thumbnail labels were alphabetized on program start up. They now are always in the same order as in "Program Settings / Metadata" and "Program Settings / Other / Change Thumbnail Label.".
Fixed: When slide show captions were on top, fragments of the previous slide sometimes were visible.
Fixed: Hierarchical keywords in metadata but not in keyword lists were not always transferred to the keywords dialog.
Fixed: On Ubuntu Unity, the search window was incorrectly displayed.

JPEGView is a viewer/editor for JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIFF images. It is designed to view images from digital cameras full screen and with highest quality possible. Basic image editing functionality is provided - allowing to correct typical problems as color cast, high/low contrast and under- or overexposure very quickly and interactively during review of the images. JPEGView does not replace a full blown image editor - such an editor will just be needed less often.
