Image editing through CLI

About

This repo has many functionalities that can be used to edit/manipulate your images. Libraries/modules such as Pillow are being used to get most of the work done.
Image manipulation can be done in singular or bulk!

Prerequisite

• Python v.3+
• Pillow

Install

$ git clone https://github.com/YassinAO/python_cli_image_editor
$ cd python_cli_image_editor
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage / Examples

You can leave the -o OR --output argument out of the command to use the default location. Folder named 'output' within this project.

The examples below use a single file.

Using the --bulk argument will require a folder directory as input so each image file within the folder will be targeted.

Add watermark

    $python editor.py watermark --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --position top_right --size large

change extension

    $python editor.py convert --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --extension .png

change dimension

    $python editor.py dimension --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --rotate 90

    $python editor.py dimension --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --scale 300

    $python editor.py dimension --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --flip vertical

blur image(s)

    $python editor.py filter --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --blur 2

change hue

    $python editor.py hue --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --contrast 2

    $python editor.py hue --input C:\Users\John\Desktop\Thumbnail.jpg --output C:\Users\John\Desktop --monochrome

Current functionalities

• Add watermark to image(s) [option to choose size & position of watermark]
• Change dimension of image(s), such as scale, rotate & flip
• Change coloring of image(s), such as contrast & monochrome
• Change file format of image(s)
• Add filter to image, such as blur
• Multiprocessing for every feature to speed up process time

Future functionalities

• A lot...
• Error handling for bulk manipulation (if one fails, keep going and create log for the ones that didn't finish)
• A progress bar
• Better image compression
• More will be added to the list...
