New batch processing options for image export

Image export options, and a corresponding image export dialog, have been implemented in PhotoFlow quite some time ago:

However, until now those options were not yet implemented in the batch processor. While introducing the image export options, I also had to partly change the way command-line parameters are passed to the batch processor.

As usual, up-to-date packages for Linux, MacOS and Windows 64 bits are available from here.

PhotoFlow - EXIF data info panel

I have just introduced a little but useful enhancement in the PhotoFlow gui: a panel showing the EXIF data of the image being edited. Here is an example:

The up-to-date pre-compiled packages are available as usual from GitHub: https://github.com/aferrero2707/PhotoFlow/releases/tag/continuous (you will have to select those created on 2018/10/10 or newer).

Enjoy!

Launch of crowd-funding campaign on Patreon

Dear PhotoFlow enthusiasts,
I have just launched a crowd-funding campaign on Patreon, with the goal of getting some support out of my FLOSS development activities.

Here is the link to the corresponding creator page: https://www.patreon.com/andreaferrero

Apart from the development of PhotoFlow, that you can follow on this blog and on the forum, I am providing AppImage packages and Continuous Integration support for other graphics-related FLOSS projects, namely:

• The GIMP image manipulation program
• The RawTherapee editor
• LuminanceHDR
• HDRMerge
• The Hugin panorama photo stitcher

If you like what I am doing and you find it useful, it would be great if you could consider a little donation. I do not have very ambitious goals regarding the crowd-funding campaign, and I am surely not going to adopt a philosophy of the kind "you only get it if you pay for it!". The work I am doing will continue regardless of the collected money.

Nevertheless, a little financial contribution will certainly help me to justify the spare time I am spending on FLOSS work!

The new "editing mode" for interactive tools

It has been a while since I posted last time... meanwhile I have been silently working on PhotoFlow, adding new tools and improving the usability.

In this post I will explain how interactive tools (those who require mouse interaction in the preview area in order to set their parameters, like the crop tool) are working in the latest development versions.
