Fotoxx is a photo editing and collection management tool. It allows you to navigate a large image collection using a thumbnail image browser, import most camera RAW files and edit with 16-bit color, save edited images as TIFF-24/48 or JPEG, and edit the whole image or an outlined area with adjustable edge blending. Multiple undo/redo is supported. Tags, dates, and ratings can be added to images, and images can be searched using these criteria and file names. Functions include brightness and color adjustments, trim, rescale, rotate, warp, sharpen, blur, noise reduction, red-eye removal, and more.

You can click or drag to accumulate new areas. A right-click will undo. Edit functions can then be used within the selected area. Panorama was improved to better compensate image scale changes due to a horizon difference or relative rotation in the images being joined. Auto-search for camera parameters was made more robust. A new method for noise reduction was added, based on variance. Blend-width control was made non-linear for better control of small values.
