Simple photo improvements: Fotoxx or alternatives?

[Bryan]

Google's Picassa (free) has an easy to use interface and has some
touch-up functionality: http://picasa.google.com/

Raw Therapee. Another raw photo processor, but this raw processor is
free:  http://www.rawtherapee.com/

Qtpfsgui ( http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/ )  is an HDR tool for
Ubuntu Linux, Macintosh, and Windows.

and Hugin (free and open source) is a great photo stitching
application: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/   (sudo apt-get install
hugin)

LightZone,(  http://www.lightcrafts.com/lightzone/  ) a cross-platform
(Macintosh, Windows, and Linux) photo editor that is very similar to
both Aperture and Adobe’s Lightroom. It is probably a bit closer to
Lightroom in its layout. The only drawback here is the application
costs $200 and is not open source.

Bibble 4 is very fast and it only costs $130. it comes with Noise
Ninja built in. Noise reduction tools are one area where all raw
processors, including Apple’s Aperture and Adobe’s Lightroom, are
really lacking.  http://bibblelabs.com/
