Software Map

　FreeMindは、議論やアイデアをまとめる手法であるマインドマップを作成するためのフリーのソフトウェアです。簡単にグラフィカルなマインドマップを作成できるほか、作成したマインドマップをPDFやPNG、HTMLといった形式で保存する機能も備えています。

　FreeMindで作成したマインドマップは自由に展開/折り畳みができ、またWebブラウザで動的に動くマップを作成することもできます。

マインドマップとは？

　マインドマップは、ある対象について、関連するキーワードや想起されるイメージを放射状に繋げながら描いていくことで分析/表現を行うものです。キーワードやイメージを繋げていく表現方法は人間の脳が物事を記憶/分析する方法に近いと言われており、物事の特徴を把握しやすく図示する方法であると言われています。

　マインドマップの基本的な作成ルールは非常に単純です。まず、分析/表現したい対象を中心に書き、そこから放射状に線を延ばしてその事柄に関連するキーワードや想起されるキーワードを書き込みます。続いて新たに書き込まれたキーワードに対し、同様に関連/するキーワード、想起されるキーワードを書き込んでいく、というステップを繰り返すことで、マインドマップは作成されます。

　FreeMindはWindowsおよびMac OS X、Linuxで動作します。また、実行にはjava.comからダウンロードできるJava Runtime Environment（JRE）が必要です。最新版のJREをダウンロードしてからインストールを行ってください。

Fotoxx navigates an image collection using a thumbnail browser to choose images to view or edit. Edit functions include brightness, contrast, color, gamma, white balance, tone mapping, red eyes, sharpen, blur, noise suppression, smart erase, trim (crop), resize, rotate, add text, bend/warp, many art effects, HDR, HDF, stack, and panorama. Edit functions use movable curves and sliders. Feedback is live using the whole image. RAW files can be edited and saved with deep color. Areas or objects can be selected using freehand draw, follow edge, and tone matching. Selections can be edited in place with adjustable blending. They can also be cut and pasted into other images. Any metadata can be edited, reported, and searched (filenames, tags, dates, geotags, comments, captions, ratings, etc.). Collections (arbitrary subsets) can be defined and viewed. Batch functions are available for rename, resize/export, RAW conversion, and more.
