kornelix has just released a new version of its Fotoxx open-source and free photo and image editing and collection management software for GNU/Linux operating systems.

According to the changelog, which you can see below, Fotoxx 15.06 is here to introduce a new feature called HSL Color, which lets users change the color of highlighted areas of an image using an HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color-chooser. To preserve current variation, it is possible to blend it with the original image.

Furthermore, the Threshold Denoise algorithm has been improved, a button has been added to the keyboard shortcuts section to report all of the standard shortcuts, and the Noise measurement tool has received some attention and it is now less sensitive to RGB levels that have a tiny gradient over the measured spot.

Another interesting feature of Fotoxx 15.06 is Cycle Desktop (background image), which makes the application run a photo in the background. Users who want to have a new desktop image each time they log into their sessions can add the app to the startup list. It is also possible to set an image as a desktop background for a specific period.

A new slideshow transition has been added

Fotoxx 15.06 also adds a new slideshow transition that makes photos fall over to reveal the next one. A new function, called Set Desktop Image, will allow users to set any image as the desktop wallpaper directly from the application. The Mashup's user interface has been improved to make it easier to add lines, arrows and text to a layout.

Last but not least, an [auto] button has been added to the Trim/Rotate tool, allowing users to remove the black margins in an image that were left by warp or composite functions. Also, the Auto-Trim menu has been removed, the GUI and help text has received enhancements, and three minor bugs have been plugged. Download Fotoxx 15.06 right now from Softpedia.
