PhotoFiltre Portable 6.5.2 has been released. PhotoFiltre is a complete image retouching program. It allows you to do simple or advanced adjustments to an image and apply a vast range of filters on it. It is simple and intuitive to use, and has an easy learning curve. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. PhotoFiltre is freeware for personal, non-profit and educational use.
PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 Beta 5 users who already have this app installed, simply click 'Check for Updates' in your PA.c Menu to update to the new version.
Features
- Filters - Its wide range of filters allows novice users to familiarize themselves with the world of graphics. You can find the standard adjustment functions (Brightness, contrast, dyed, saturation, gamma correction) and also artistic filters (watercolor, pastels, Indian ink, pointillism, puzzle effect). There are more than 100 filters to be discovered!
- Vectorial selections - PhotoFiltre uses two types of vectorial selections. The first type uses automatic shapes (rectangle, ellipse, triangle, rhombus, rounded rectangle). The second type corresponds to the lasso and polygon. They both allow a customized form by drawing a shape by hand or using a series of lines. Every selection can be saved into a seperate file, to be used later on.
- Tool bar - The toolbar is primarily made up of drawing tools, such as pipette, displacement cursor, fill bucket, aerosol, brush, drop of water (blur), cloning stamp, smudge (finger) and magic wand.
- Brushes - PhotoFiltre has some standard brushes (round and square in different sizes), but also some more varied forms (oblique line, leave, star, etc...)
- PhotoMasque module - With PhotoMasque you can create advanced effects of contour and transparency on your images by using preset masks. These masks are grayscale images, where white is the transparancy color, while opacity increases as the shades of gray become darker. Black means complete opacity. PhotoMasque comes with several basic masks to inspire you to create your own masks.
- Automatisation module - This module allows you to apply basic functions/corrections (conversion, image size, framing) to a group of images.
- Other functions - Image browser, Plug-in management, Scanning of images using a TWAIN compatible device (scanner, webcam, photocamera), Transparency management for GIF images and exporting them to icons (16, 256 or 16 millions of colors), Advanced text effects (rotation, shading, bevel), Serveral types of contours and textures, Blending and assembling of images and more

Thanks
Thanks for your work on this computerfreaker, and to the publisher for permission. I made some updates to your package to allow full path portablization, display the license properly on install, and I added custom code to make add automatic language switching and easily language changing by users by editing a single file (no need to download and move individual files around). The language switching handles the translation and both help files where available.
Please check with the publisher on whether they'd like to host this themselves or handle updates themselves as we are happy to hand-off either of those duties and provide ongoing assistance.
Thank you
Thanks for releasing this, and for your updates to my package. I just took a look at your changes, and I'll make sure to incorporate them into future versions of Photofiltre Portable.
I've contacted the Photofiltre dev to ask about either hosting or maintaining the package; I'll let you know what he says. (I'm expecting he'll let us continue maintaining the package, although he may want to host it.)
Just fyi, https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/photofiltre_portable says "Fotografix is packaged for portable use with permission".
Mildly off-topic: please could you add me to the "Our Team" page?
Done
Done. And please check your email.
Small mistake
In Other\Source section there is a file AppNamePortable.ini, which should be named PhotoFiltrePortable.ini. Just a small mistake.
By Design
That is by design. The readme.txt explains how to use it. The example INIs have never been designed to be used directly so now with PAL we keep it generic.
Size, extracted?
"PhotoFiltre-en.zip" unzipped counts 3.7MB,
"PhotoFiltrePortable_6.5.2.paf.exe" unzipped counts 4.4MB,
"PhotoFiltrePortable_6.5.2.paf" installed counts 6.9MB.
File system: NTFS -- Pardon, but this is irritating to me ...
Multilingual
The zip is english only. If you want french, you download the other zip. If you want another language, you start with one of those and then have to also download a translation file and manually place 1 to 3 files.
This portable package is multilingual and automatically swithces languages with the platform. Or if you run solo, just editing a single line in an ini file. Plus the launcher portablizes your paths for things like recently used files.
Multilingual
thx for flash-like reply! Still I wonder why the auto-lang-switched portable-install counts 1.86 times the size of the EN-only ZIP; 2MB for portablized paths?
Nope, lang files
Take a look at App\Photofiltre\Languages; those language files make up well over 2 MB (2.93 MB on my system). The English-only zip doesn't have those language files so it doesn't have to worry about the extra 2 MB.
redundant lang-files
hope, *.PAF.NG.exe files could drop those
_ Anyway: GREAT SITE!
You Can Remove Them
If space is of a concern where 2MB makes a difference for you, you can just remove the Languages directory in PhotoFiltrePortable\App\photofiltre. They don't slow the app down at all while it is running because it won't be accessing any of them, so including them just makes the app 2MB bigger but gains us support for 27 additional languages.
Photofiltre addons / modules
Hi guys
Great release, i know someone that would die to have this as a portable app. The only concern i can see is regarding the application modules/addons. Will they be usable? If so, is there anything that would be different to the standard install of modules/addons?
Thanks
Yup
You install them as you would in normal PhotoFiltre to the same locations. They will be preserved on upgrade.
Awesome
Thanks, thats perfect ^_^
PhotoFiltre
That's really what I wanted.
Thank you guys. Thank you very much for your precious efforts.
God bless you.
plugins / add-on
Wouldn't it be very nice to include the available plugins in the installer?
Or if that is not legal/possible to make a plugin installer?
Someone on the program homepage made a plugin installer for the normally installed version so i think it's legal (not sure of course)
It's just a suggestion.
