F-Spot aims to have an interface that is simple to use, yet still supports advanced features such as tagging images and displaying and exporting Exif and XMP metadata.
All major photographic image formats are supported, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, DNG and several vendor-specific RAW formats (CR2, PEF, ORF, SRF, CRW, MRW and RAF). Other supported file types are GIF, SVG and PPM. However, as of 2008, the RAW formats were not editable with F-Spot. But newer releases of F-Spot have the DevelopInUFRaw extension, which call on UFRaw for the conversion work, and then reimport the resulting JPEG back into F-Spot as a new version of the original RAW.
Photos can be imported directly from the camera. The driver support is provided by libgphoto2. GNOME desktop environment can also optionally detect if a camera or a memory card has been attached, and import images to F-Spot automatically.
Basic functions such as crop, rotate and resize are available alongside more advanced features such as red-eye removal and versioning. Color adjustments are supported, including brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and temperature.
Photo CDs can be created by selecting multiple photographs and selecting "Export to CD" from the main menu.
Photos in the F-Spot library can be uploaded to a number of online photo storage sites. F-Spot supports two major gallery sites, Flickr and Picasa Web Album[1], and also using stand-alone web gallery software, including Gallery and O.r.i.g.i.n.a.l. F-Spot can also generate static web gallery sites.
