                        [default: img_]
-d, --digits INTEGER       number of digits for file numbering  [default: 4]
-c, --increment INTEGER    increment for file numbering  [default: 1]
-k, --keep-names           keep original file names instead of numbering
                        [default: False]
-f, --force-overwrite      force overwriting output image file if it exists
                        [default: False]
-o, --outdir DIRECTORY     output directory  [default: .]
-q, --quality INTEGER      quality of the output images, integer 0 - 100
                        [default: 88]
-e, --preserve-exif        preserve image exif headers if available
                        [default: False]
--help                     Show this message and exit.

Commands:
blackwhite  Convert color images to black and white.
colorfix    Fix colors by stretching channel histograms to full range.
crop        Crop images to the given aspect ratio.
frame       Put a monocolor frame around images.
framecrop   Crop and frame an image to a target aspect ratio.
resize      Resize images to a maximum side length preserving aspect...
save        No-op to enable saving of images without any processing.
stack       Stack images vertically, empty space in the middle.

Features

• Subcommands can be executed sequentially to form a pipeline

• Command blackwhite for converting images to black and white

• Command colorfix for fixing the colors of aged photographs

• Command crop for cropping images to give aspect ratio

• Command dither for converting images to black and white and dithering

• Command filmstrip to stack images horizontally forming a filmstrip

• Command frame to put a monocolor frame around images

• Command framecrop top frame and crop an image to a target aspect ratio

• Command resize for resizing images

• Command save for no processing, but saving images with the given parameters

• Command stack for vertically stacking images

Pipelines

imgwrench subcommands can be combined into pipelines. This saves you from generating intermediate files cluttering your filesystem and reducing the quality of the final results. For example, if you would like to convert all images in the current directory to black and white, put a white frame around them and have them cut to an aspect ratio of 3:2 (for standard format printing), you would execute the following command:

ls *.JPG | \
imgwrench -o out -q 95 -p oldschool_img_ \
        blackwhite \
        framecrop -a 3:2 -w 0.03 -c white

Please refer to the detailed subcommand documentation for the individual parameters.
