Long Description:
- Navigate a large image collection using a pagable thumbnail window.
- Click a button to make the thumbnails larger or smaller.
- Click a thumbnail to view full-size or edit in a new window.
- Import RAW image files from a digital camera.
- Edit and save images in 8 or 16 bits/color (jpeg or tiff).
- Brightness can be adjusted independently for brighter and darker image areas.
- The brightness distribution can be "flattened", often a fast and easy method to improve overall balance and detail.
- Trim an image (cut away unwanted margins).
- Rotate an image (level a tilted image or turn in 90 degree steps).
- Rescale an image (change pixel dimensions).
- Remove red-eyes, usually with 1-click.
- Correct perspective problems, e.g. slanted or curved buildings.
- Stretch or warp 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).
- Reduce noise (speckles) in a low-light photo.
- Reduce color depth (reduce no. of colors, posterize).
- Vary color intensity from gray scale to intensified (saturated) color.
- Transform a photo into a simulated drawing, embossing, or painting.
- Editing can also be done within an area outlined with the mouse, with smooth blending of the edges.
- Two or more images can be joined to make a panorama image.
- Combine an underexposed and overexposed image to make an HDR image.
- The panorama and HDR functions are easy to use and tolerate the misalignments of a hand-held camera.
- Add tags (keywords), dates, and star-ratings (quality, importance) to images.
- Search for images having desired tags/dates/ratings and display hits in a thumbnail navigation window.
- Select random images from thumbnail indexes, edit sequence, burn to CD or DVD (uses Brasero).
- Add images to a layout, move around and resize using the mouse, add text in any font, print (sister application printoxx).
- The GUI interface is available in English, French, German, Greek, Spanish, Galacian, Chinese (PRC).
