PhotoFlow is in a early development stage. User-friendly interface to develop new tools and image filters as external plugins.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.Support for layer grouping and layer masks.

Fully color managed workflow: user-defined input, work and output profiles, soft-proofing, etc.Allows to load and edit images of arbitrary size, thanks to the underlying rendering engine based on the VIPS library.Plugin-based architecture: new tools can be implemented as separate modules that are loaded at runtime.

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.Fully non-destructive, layer-based photo editing workflow with realtime preview of the final image.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. Creating and using luminosity masks with PhotoFlow (inspired from Patrick David's blog).
