Package "fotoxx"

fotoxx (14.02-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    + Index Image Files (aka Synchronize) is faster. Intermixing image files
      with 100K other files under /home/user/... has little effect on speed.
      Startup time is also faster for the normal case of few new image files.
    + Retouch Combo: sliders were added for fast adjustment of overall
      brightness and contrast. The curves can then be hand-tuned if needed.
    + Slide Show: a new transition type simulates turning a book page.
    + Slide Show: images are clipped to exactly fit the monitor if the
      difference in aspect ratio is less than an adjustable limit.
    + Slide Show: optionally show captions/comments at top of each image.
    + The batch Rename and Convert functions were combined for convenience.
    + Batch Convert has a new option to automatically sharpen images.
    + Paint/Clone: a "shadow" paintbrush tracks the source of copied pixels.
    + Retouch Combo, Trim/Rotate and Resize can recall prior settings
      for easier application to multiple images needing similar treatments.
    + Mashup: resizing/rotating an overlay image with the mouse is smoother.
    + Editing a selected area: edge blending was made a bit smoother.
    + Search Images: select gallery report or tabular report for metadata.
    + Block metadata edits for inappropriate image types (e.g. bmp, gif).
    + Bugfix: Texture function converted RGB 0/0/0 pixels to illegal values.
    + Bugfix: Bogus error message about exceeding geotag limits.
    + Bugfix: Trim function left temporary image remnants on the window.

fotoxx (14.01-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    + Adjustments for brightness, contrast, color, gamma, and white balance
      were combined into a single dialog function for faster workflow.
    + Select area: automatically finish areas selected by mouse painting and
      color matching (process "swiss cheese" selections faster and easier).
    + Select Area: follow-edge method can better follow edges when mouse
      edge-following is less than perfect.
    + New special effect: add textured surface to an image or selected area.
    + Kuwahara sharpen method added: very effective for some special cases.
    + All sharpen methods were made multithreaded (typical 2x speedup).
    + Slide Show transitions can optionally happen in random sequence.
    + Slide Show transition speeds can be adjusted for CPU/GPU performance.
    + Show RGB: update RGB values live as the mouse is moved over an image.
    + The user guide was audited and many minor corrections were made.
    + Bugfix: Mashup: preserve transparency when using saved cutout images.
    + Bugfix: Image edits were losing some special application XMP metadata.
    + Bugfix: HDR crash if input images are not exactly the same size.

fotoxx (13.12-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    + The user interface has better flexibility for faster workflow:
      + An edit function can be started without closing a prior function.
        The prior edit status is used and an undo/redo position is added.
      + Step through a series of new images with an open edit function.
        Apply the function to an image or pass over with the [next] button.
      + Brightness and color functions can recall prior settings for faster
        application to other photos made under the same lighting conditions.
    + RAW files now work like all other image files. Auto-copy to tiff-16
      is no longer done. Edit as usual and save in the desired format.
    + Add Text: new option: retrieve and edit metadata caption/comments.
    + Captions: new option: show metadata caption/comments above each image.
    + Move Collections more flexible: any pathname segment can be replaced.
    + Some intermediate files now use ramdisk for a small performance gain.
    + Mashup: layout images can be moved in 1-pixel steps with KB arrow keys.
    + Mashup: internal speedups, especially when painting transparency.
    + New Slide Show transition type: double doors open from the middle.
    + Log file output was made always current, like a terminal session.
    + Bugfix: unsaved edits lost if [next] button used beyond the last file.
    + Bugfix: curve nodes lost when reloading saved complex edit curves.
    + Bugfix: Mashup: sometimes erratic overlay image corner drag behavior.
