Photoflow A fully non-destructive photo retouching program providing a complete RAW image editing workflow Project maintained by aferrero2707 Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgraham

The aim of the project is to provide a fully non-destructive photo retouching program that includes a complete workflow from RAW image development to high-quality printing.

Here is the general feature (whish)list:

Fully non-destructive, layer-based photo editing workflow with realtime preview of the final image

Support for 8-bits and 16-bits integer as well as 32-bits and 64-bits floating point precision, selectable at runtime and on a per-image basis

Plugin-based architecture: new tools can be implemented as separate modules that are loaded at runtime

Allows to load and edit images of arbitrary size, thanks to the underlying rendering engine based on the VIPS library

Fully color managed workflow: user-defined input, work and output profiles, soft-proofing, etc...

Support for layer grouping and layer masks

Support for common photo editing tools: levels, curves, brightness-contrast control, blurring, sharpening, cropping, resizing, colorspace conversions, etc..., all implemented in the form of image layers

User-friendly interface to develop new tools and image filters as external plugins

Current status

PhotoFlow is in a early development stage. The present version allows to open an image file and apply basic editing filters via non-destructive adjustment layers. The individual layers can be activated and de-activated using the radio buttons on the right of the image. Moreover, the layers structure can be saved to disk and re-opened again via the command line.

Screenshots

Here is a screenshot showing the Curves tool applied to an image to increase the contrast:
