NAME

       FotoFix - simple image viewer


DESCRIPTION

       FotoFix is a simple image viewer with simple capabilities to take care
       of freshly downloaded photos from your camera - can walk image lists,
       rotate images, and remove red eyes (with some luck). It was inspired by
       IrfanView for Windows, a great but unfortunately non-portable and
       closed-source product.  My experience with various image viewers came
       to a point where I was no longer satisfied with any, so I wrote yet
       another one.


INSTALLATION

       FotoFix requres perl, Prima, and IPA as dependencies. Whereas the first
       can be obtained by typing "download perl" in Google, the latter are
       available from CPAN.


USAGE

   Remove red eyes
       To remove red eyes, select a rectangular area by mouse and do
       "Edit/Effects/Remove red eyes".  This will hopefully eliminate red
       spots in the given rectangle. If there are false positives, try to
       reload the image and apply the operation to a smaller area. The
       algorithm for reducing red eye glow is very simple, so if you have some
       bad red eyes, not detectable by it, feel free to hack it.

   Show pixel value under cursor
       Press shift and move the mouse around the picture

   Magnifying glass
       Press middle button. To change zoom, rotate the mouse wheel.  The mouse
       pointer gets hidden, but press shift and move the pointer to show it
       back. If the middle button is pressed together with Ctrl, then the
       magnifying glass is double size.

   Execute
       When executing a command for each tagged image, the following
       substitution rules apply. If $_ is found the command, the command is
       iterated for each tagged file and $_ is substituted to the filename. If
       $* is found, then a single command is executed, where $* is substitled
       to a list of all tagged files. Both $* and $_ cannot be specified
       simultaneously. If neither is specified, $* is assumed to be appended
       to the end of the command.

   External commands
       Specify an external command that will be executed on Alt+num shortcut
       on the currently opened file. The syntax allows $_ wildcard globbing to
       specify exactly where the file name will appear. Set empty string to
       delete the command shortcut.

   Rename
       Apply a substitutive perl regular expression to each file, where each
       filename will be stored in $_, and file index in $..

BUGS & FEATURES
       The viewer is very, very simple. If you find a bug, or miss a feature,
       you are very welcome to hack it as you like, and eventually send me a
       patch.
