PhotoFlow RAW image editor for Linux Ubuntu Systems. Install Photoflow image editing software on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Derivatives. Photoflow is a fully non-destructive photo retouching program providing a complete layer-based workflow including RAW image development.
The aim of the project is to provide a fully non-destructive photo retouching program that includes a complete workflow from RAW image development to high-quality printing.
Here is the general feature (whish)list:
- Fully non-destructive, layer-based photo editing workflow with realtime preview of the final image
- Support for 8-bits and 16-bits integer as well as 32-bits and 64-bits floating point precision, selectable at runtime and on a per-image basis
- Plugin-based architecture: new tools can be implemented as separate modules that are loaded at runtime
- Allows to load and edit images of arbitrary size, thanks to the underlying rendering engine based on the VIPS library
- Fully color managed workflow: user-defined input, work and output profiles, soft-proofing, etc…
- Support for layer grouping and layer masks
- Support for common photo editing tools: levels, curves, brightness-contrast control, blurring, sharpening, cropping, resizing, colorspace conversions, etc…, all implemented in the form of image layers
- User-friendly interface to develop new tools and image filters as external plugins
PhotoFlow version 0.2.2
PhotoFlow version 0.2.2 is the latest release of the PhotoFlow RAW image editor. This new version includes few major improvements:
New Features:
- Added histogram visualization
- Implemented handling of auto-orientation EXIF flag
- Added interactive editing of horizontal and vertical gradients shape
- Changed assignment of mouse clicks in preview area:
- Ctrl-clicks are now reserved for zooming/panning.
- Ctrl-double-click is now used to toggle between 100% and zoom-to-fit
- Sampling of curve points is for now on associated to Alt-click (was Ctrl-click before)
Bug fixes:
- Improved accuracy of Lab->RGB conversion. This guarantees for example a neutral greyscale image when desaturating with the “Lab L channel” method
A shortcut has also been added for toggling the preview image between 100% zoom and zoom-to-fit. The toggling is associated to a mouse Ctrl-double-click in the preview area.
