Watch your own movies and video clips as well as those found online. View your pictures with previews and nicely animated slideshows. Manage your music collection by artists or album covers. Elisa automatically finds media from other computers on your local network.

Here are some of the current features:

* Watch pictures with previews and animated slideshows
* Watch movies and video clips
* Browse music collection by artists or albums covers
* Browse internet radio and picture websites

* Media Browsing using Cover flow, Grid view, List view, Drag-and-drop
* Audio visualization during playback

* Supports all media formats using Gstreamer multimedia framework, including H.264, MPEG 2, MPEG4, Quicktime, Windows Media, Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora, Matroska. Commercially licensed plugins that work with GStreamer and Elisa are available from Fluendo.

And much more…

Some of its main features include the following:

- A comprehensive and user friendly interface with customizable toolbars, screen sizes, screen layouts, zoom sizes, up to 1000 undos and more.

- Pixel art capabilities that allow you to edit indexed palette or RGB images; save and load BMP, GIF, JPEG, LSS, PNG, TGA, TIFF, XPM, XBM files; use image channels: Alpha, Selection, Mask, all saved to a PNG file; create up to 100 layers; create animations and more.

- Image manipulation such as the ability to quickly transform image gamma, brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, posterize from a single dialog, and preview the results in real time; apply various effects such as invert, greyscale, isometric transformations, edge detect, sharpen, unsharp mask, soften, Gaussian blur, emboss, bacteria; crop at the touch of a button and resize the canvas at will.

Some of its core features include the following:

* You simply draw a rough sketch of what you want to find and imgSeek displays for you a thumbnail view of the best matches.

* Query images similar to one in your collection by double-clicking on it’s thumbnail.

* Group your photos by similarity for easy browsing. You may also have them clustered automatically by color, date (group events automatically using an adaptive clustering algorithm for time differences), filename or image features.

* Edit metadata (description, camera, lens, etc) for every image, and use them on the HTML albums generated or for searching photos. You can also use custom metadata fields.

* EXIF and IPTC data found on JPEG/TIFF files are automatically imported. (Read-only support)

* Advanced command-line utility to scan for new files, query for similar images and show image metadata. (You may use it on your cron system for example)

* Transform images or batches automatically: Place text captions, change brightness, contrast, blur, etc. Apply lossless rotations automatically if jpegtran is available.

* Generate HTML albums for the entire collection, a given d
directory or similarity group.

Designed as a stand-alone modeller, without animation or ‘proper’ rendering facilities it should not be confused with software that does include such features - although its modelling capabilities stand extremely favourable comparison with equivalent sections of such applications - whether free or commercial.

The use of ‘context-sensitive’ menus is the reason for its sparse look, whereby tool menus relevant to the current selection mode are only displayed when needed - so no ‘greyed out’ options.

Wings’ toolset often provides the user with many different workflow options for modeling and thus allows considerable flexibility of technique within its ‘box-modelling’ / ‘winged edge’ paradigm. (one example being the provision of a ‘hole’ material, thus allowing wings models to be exported to a wide range of other apps.)

Its primary goal is to embed Synaps algebraic capabilities to provide new modeling techniques.

Some of Axel’s core abilities are as follows:

- Topology : compute the certified topology of curves and surfaces with either implicit or parametric representation
- Intersections : compute the intersection of implicit or parametric curves or surfaces
- Self-intersections : compute the self-intersections of parametric surfaces whatever their parameterization
- Singularities : compute the singularities of algebraic surfaces
- Differential modeling : derivative curves, graphed surfaces
- Set theoretic modeling : boolean operations, arrangements

It supports multiple layers and alpha channel editing. It is based around the GIMP’s technology and uses the same native file format.

Seashore’s features include:

* Full support for the GIMP’s native XCF file format

* Read and write support for the TIFF, PNG, JPEG, JP2000 and GIF file formats

* Read-only support for the BMP, PICT, PDF and XBM file formats

* Layers with over 20 merging effects

* Ability to edit just the primary or alpha channels

* Thorough transparency effects including semi-transparent gradients

* Arbitrary selection regions

* Anti-aliased brush strokes

* 6 basic gradient effects with 16 variations

* Tablet support

* ColorSync support (including embedded profiles in TIFFs and CMYK previewing)

* Plug-in filters

POV-Ray includes the following features: A Turing-complete scene description language (SDL) that supports macros and loops; a library of ready-made scenes, textures, and objects; support for a number of geometric primitives and constructive solid geometry; several kinds of light sources; atmospheric effects such as fog and media (smoke, clouds); reflections, refractions, and light caustics using photon mapping; surface patterns such as wrinkles, bumps, and ripples, for use in procedural textures and bump mapping; radiosity; image format support for textures and rendered output, including TGA, PNG, JPEG (only input) among others; extensive user documentation.

The class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive classes.

Features include the following: Very fast, very slick to use; Offers some of the most powerful graphics tools available; Is simple to use and learn; Has a clean, un-cluttered user interface. Few floating dialogs, palettes, menus etc; Is able to create a huge range of outstanding graphics; Has a huge resource of learning material, tutorials, movies, tips and a very active enthusiastic and growing user community.
