Motivation

ImageModifier offers a streamlined and intuitive approach, making it highly accessible to a wide range of users, unlike many complex image processing tools that can be overwhelming for beginners and cumbersome for quick tasks. This package caters to both novices seeking an easy entry point into image manipulation and experienced users looking for a tool to perform quick modifications without the overhead of more complex software. With core functionalities like rotating, slicing, adding frames, and selecting RGB channels, ImageModifier simplifies these common tasks, allowing users to achieve their goals with minimal coding effort.

Functions

rotate_90: Rotating an image by 90 degrees clockwise.

add_frame: Adding a frame to an image.

select_channel: Modifying an image with/without a specified RGB channel.

slice_image: Slicing an image into a specified number of horizontal and vertical slices.

Documentation

The package documentation, including installation instructions, usage examples and API details, is available on ReadTheDocs and accessible here.

Usage

Importing libraries and image

The following code can be used to import libraries and an image in python.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> from PIL import Image

>>> image = Image.open("src/ubc.jpeg")  # Example for demonstration
>>> image_ary = np.array(image)

Function usage

Rotate the image by 90 degree clockwise

>>> from image_modifier.rotate_90 import rotate_90

>>> rotated_image = rotate_90(image_ary)
>>> plt.imshow(rotated_image)

Add frame to the image

>>> from image_modifier.add_frame import add_frame

>>> framed_image = add_frame(image_ary, border_size=30, color_name='blue', overlay=True)
>>> plt.imshow(framed_image)

Select color channel

>>> from image_modifier.select_channel import select_channel

>>> colored_image = select_channel(image_ary, 'r')
>>> plt.imshow(colored_image)

Slice the image

>>> from image_modifier.slice_image import slice_image

>>> slices = slice_image(image_ary, horizontal_slices=2, vertical_slices=2)

Position within the Python ecosystem

ImageModifier bridges the gap between highly complex image processing libraries and the need for straightforward, user-friendly JPEG image manipulation tools. Its focus on core image processing functionalities—such as rotating, slicing, adding frames, and adjusting RGB channels. While Python boasts powerful image processing libraries like OpenCV and PIL/Pillow, these can often be overwhelming for beginners or overkill for simple tasks. ImageModifier's simplicity makes it an attractive starting point for newcomers to JPEG image processing, as well as a quick and efficient tool for experienced users needing to perform routine tasks without the overhead of more complex libraries.
