Fotoxx 5.0 for Mandriva 2007.1 & 2008.1 (/i686 - /i586 - x86_84)

Fotox is a free open-source Linux program for improving image files made with a digital camera.
The following functions are provided:

Show thumbnails of image files in a directory, navigate, choose files to view or edit.
Adjust overexposed or underexposed areas to improve visibility of detail
(change brightness independently for different brightness levels).
Reduce fog or haze by removing “whiteness” and intensifying colors.
High dynamic range (HDR) photography: combine an underexposed and
overexposed image to improve details visible in both bright and dark areas.
Automatic image alignment.
Photo stitching or panorama: stitch two or more images together to make an ultra-wide image.
Simple image alignment and brightness / color matching.
Crop an image (choose the area of interest and cut-off the margins).
Rotate an image by any angle (level a tilted image, or turn in 90 degree steps).
Resize an image, with convenience buttons for 2/3, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 size.
Red-eye removal.

The program exiv2 is used to read the EXIF data that is commonly imbedded in images
from digital cameras (exposure data, date …). If you want access to this data, you
need to install the exiv2 package. Otherwise the fotox EXIF function will simply not work.

New in this release:

This release of fotoxx focuses on improvements in convenience and usability. Scroll bars were added to more easily pan across large images. Zoom in/out with toolbar buttons or left/right mouse buttons (zoom to the mouse position). The +/- keys can also be used for zoom. Slide show mode was added to the menu (full screen image without menu and toolbar), and several control functions were mapped to the keyboard. Select Area is now a separate dialog that can be used parallel with relevant edit dialogs to edit a mouse-outlined section of the image. The user guide was converted from PDF to HTML. A few other minor bug fixes and improvements were made.
