BrushCue
BrushCue is a GPU-accelerated image editing library for Python. Every operation is a composable graph node — adjust color and tone, apply filters and blurs, composite images with a full set of blend modes, transform and crop, run ML-powered segmentation, or write custom GPU shaders. Chain nodes together and call .execute() once to run the whole pipeline.

Quickstart
import brushcue
ctx = brushcue.Context()
image = brushcue.Composition.load("photo.png")
grayscale = image.grayscale()
composition = grayscale.execute(ctx)
output_bytes = composition.to_image_bytes(ctx)
with open("output.png", "wb") as f:
f.write(output_bytes)
