Roadmap

Image Toolkit grows one feature set per version until 1.0. Everything on this page except 0.1.0 is planned, not available; the order and the contents may still change. The changelog records what each released version actually contains.

0.1.0: browse (current version)

Open a folder in place, thumbnail grid, single-image viewer, keyboard navigation, French and English interface. Files are never modified. See Getting started.

0.2.0: display modes

Three ways to look at a shoot, switched with the keyboard (as in Lightroom) or from the toolbar:

• Grid (G): the thumbnail grid.
• Loupe (E): one image fitted to the window, with a filmstrip of every image of the folder along the bottom; the current image is highlighted in it, and clicking a thumbnail shows that image.
• Full screen (F): the system full screen, with the image alone on a black background; Esc or F returns to the previous mode.

0.3.0: tags, filters, sorting

• Three tags: Favorite, Neutral and Rejected.
• Tags stored in Adobe-style XMP sidecar files next to the photos (IMG_0001.xmp for IMG_0001.CR3). This is the first version that writes files to your folders.
• Filters, sorting and multi-selection.

0.4.0: blur detection

The sharpness scoring of blurdetector, integrated into the app as a native feature. From this version on, blur detection evolves as part of Image Toolkit.

• A sharpness score for every photo.
• Adjustable parameters: threshold, grid size, top fraction, pre-blur and long edge.
• Hide the blurry photos.
• Reject all the blurry photos in one batch.

0.5.0: deletion

• Delete the selected images.
• Deleted files go to the operating system’s trash by default; permanent deletion is available as an option.
• A confirmation lists every file that will be removed, sidecars included.

0.6.0: closer inspection

100% zoom to check focus, and an EXIF panel.

0.7.0: comparison

A sharpness map overlay showing where the image is sharp, and side-by-side comparison of 2 to 4 images.

0.8.0: lens corrections

Lens corrections applied on display, from the lensfun database: distortion and vignetting.

0.9.0: export

Corrected export from a 16-bit RAW development to JPEG, PNG or TIFF.

0.10.0: hardening

Hardening and performance work; chromatic aberration correction if time allows.

1.0.0: stable

The first stable release.
