It is as described in the following help.

NAME
    main.py - Process Runnner for Command Line Interface


SYNOPSIS
    main.py <flags>

DESCRIPTION
    This utility converts the colors of images such as photos.

    If you specify a directory path, it will convert
    the image files in the specified directory.
    If you specify a file path, it will convert the specified file.
    If you specify an option, the specified conversion will be performed.


    Tosaka mode is a mode that expresses the preference of
    Tosaka-senpai, a character in "Kyūkyoku Chōjin R",
    for "photos taken with Tri-X that look like they were
    burned onto No. 4 or No. 5 photographic paper".
    Only use floating-point numbers when using this mode;
    numbers around 2.4 will make it look right.

If a directory is specified in the path, an out directory will be created in the specified directory, and the converted JPEG and PNG images will be stored in PNG format.

If you specify a JPEG or PNG image file as the path, an out directory will be created in the directory where the image is stored, and the converted image will be stored in PNG format.

Note: If you specify a file in any other format in the path, be aware there is no error handling. The program will terminate abnormally.

Algorithms

The following algorithms are available in this tool.

RGBA to RGB Convert

Converts an image that contains Alpha, such as RGBA, to image data that does not contain Alpha. Transparent areas will be filled with white.

This algorithm is performed on any image file.

invert

Inverts the colors of an image using Pillow's built-in algorithm.

In the case of negative film, color conversion that takes into account the film base color is not performed, but we plan to follow up with a feature to be developed in the future.

colorautoajust

We will use the "automatic color equalization" algorithm described in the following paper to apply color correction.

This process is more time consuming than the algorithm used in "colorstretch", but it can reproduce more natural colors.

colorstretch

The "gray world" and "stretch" algorithms described in the following paper are combined to apply color correction.

This process is faster than the algorithm used in "colorautoajust".

grayscale

Convert a color image to grayscale using the algorithm described in the following article.

Python でグレースケール(grayscale)化

Note: This article is written in Japanese.

Tosaka mode

Tosaka mode is a mode that expresses the preference of Tosaka-senpai, a character in "Kyūkyoku Chōjin R", for "photos taken with Tri-X that look like they were burned onto No. 4 or No. 5 photographic paper".

Only use floating-point numbers when using this mode; numbers around 2.4 will make it look right.

When this mode is specified, color images will also be converted to grayscale.

outputrgb

Outputs a monochrome image in RGB.

noise

Add Gaussian noise.

To add noise, you need to specify a floating-point number; a value of about 10.0 will be just right.
