fotox-0.37 is a program for improving image files made with a digital
camera.

	http://kornelix.squarespace.com/fotox/

The following functions are provided:

    * Show thumbnails of image files in a directory, navigate, choose
      files to view or edit.
    * Adjust overexposed or underexposed areas to improve visibility
      of detail (change brightness independently for different
      brightness levels).
    * Reduce fog or haze by removing "whiteness" and intensifying
      colors.
    * Edit whole image or an arbitrary area outlined with the mouse.
    * High dynamic range (HDR) photography: combine an underexposed
      and overexposed image to improve details visible in both bright
      and dark areas. Automatic image alignment.
    * Photo stitching or panorama: stitch two or more images together
      to make an ultra-wide image.
    * Simple image alignment and brightness / color matching.
    * Crop an image (choose the area of interest and cut-off the
      margins).
    * Rotate an image by any angle (level a tilted image, or turn in
      90 degree steps).
    * Resize an image, with convenience buttons for 2/3, 1/2, 1/3 and
      1/4 size.
    * Red-eye removal.


stalonetray-0.7.6 - STand Alone TRAY (notification area) implementation

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/stalonetray

Stalonetray is a stand-alone freedesktop.org and KDE system tray
(notification area) for X Window System/X11 (e.g. X.Org or XFree86).
It has full XEMBED support and minimal dependencies: an X11 lib only.
Stalonetray works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager.
