Retouch - Ergonomic Image Editor

A tool to efficiently crop, straighten, and retouch images.

Open a file, make it awesome and save the result.

Works offline.

Install

The build process is managed by gulp. To run retouch without installing anything globally do:

(it is assumed that node >=0.10 and npm are already installed on the system)

git clone https://github.com/hvoecking/retouch.git
cd retouch
npm install
./node_modules/bower/bin/bower install
./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js watch

The app can only properly run as a chrome extension. Open chrome, go to the extensions page, tick Developer mode click Load unpacked extension select retouch/dist/debug directory and enjoy auto reload.

There are 3 build modi for gulp, next to the default debug mode you can call gulp like this:

./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js watch {watch,clean,…} [--build {test,release}]

The output files are then produced in their corresponding subdirectory of the retouch/dist/ directory.
