NOIR_ET_BLANC

○ The Noir et Blanc application is a black-and-white photo editor. Because of the simplicity of its use, you can easily and quickly produce high-quality photographic images with Noir et Blanc. ○ For avoiding unnecessary visual clutter on the display, the features can mainly be found in menus. ○ Selecting a menu item for a specific feature, e.g., for the adjustment of the tone curve, results in the displaying of a small window containing the tools for making the adjustments. The adjustments made are shown immediately in the displayed image. After clicking the OK button, the window closes, and you can choose another feature. Alternatively, you can cancel the edit by clicking the Cancel button. ○ The features include the following: rotation, tone curve adjustment, sepia/colouring, colourfulness adjustment, sharpen and blur, vignette, adding a borderline around the picture.  ○ A small set of tool-like features, such as cloning and selecting an area for cropping or local processing, can be accessed by clicking the respective buttons in a horizontal toolbar. ○ Colour images can also be edited using the same tools as those used to edit monochrome images. ○ In addition, the background lightness can be adjusted to any value between black (0) and white (255).
