FOTOFIX(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation FOTOFIX(1)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.
