Debian Imaging Project
Summary
Image script
Command line image processing in Debian

Debian contains a lot of tools to process images as batches using the command line. Here you can have an overview.

Description

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Imaging to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Imaging mailing list

Auto Adjust Photo jest małym narzędziem pracującym z poziomu wiersza poleceń do manipulowania obrazem, umożliwiającym automatyczną korekcję kolorów zdjęć. Zadaniem programu jest ulepszanie wyglądu zdjęcia. Dokonuje tego poprzez analizę obrazu wejściowego, a następnie ustawia dla niego najbardziej optymalny kontrast, gammę, nasycenie i balans kolorów.

Pngquant to narzędzie konwertujące, używane z poziomu wiersza poleceń, które kwantyzuje oraz dodaje dither do obrazów PNG truecolor, aby przekształcić je na pliki z 8-bitową paletą RGBA. Tak przetworzone obrazy są zazwyczaj od dwóch do czterech razy mniejsze niż 32-bitowe oryginały, a ich częściowa przezroczystość zostaje w miarę zgrabnie zachowana. To czyni pngquant szczególnie pożytecznym narzędziem przy tworzeniu stron WWW, a także przy rozwijaniu oprogramowania dla PlayStation 2, którego format tekstur opiera się na palecie RGBA (choć nie są one poddawane kompresji PNG). Jest to ta sama technika, którą zastosowano dla wielu obrazów na stronie Miscellaneous Transparent PNGs (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngs-img.html), a jej rezultaty nierzadko nie dają się odróżnić od oryginalnych plików PNG truecolor.

Optymalizatory (takie, jak pngcrush czy optipng) optymalizują kompresję, zazwyczaj bezstratnie, podczas gdy pngquant kwantyzuje kolory do 256 (lub mniej) różnych kombinacji, co jest procesem stratnym.

GraphicsMagick provides a set of command-line applications to manipulate image files. It is a fork of the ImageMagick project and therefore offers a similar set of features, but puts a larger emphasis on stability.

The tools support a large variety of image formats from the widely used jpeg, tiff, bmp or xpm to special-purpose formats such as fits or image formats found on some photo CDs. They can convert between formats, concatenate several images into one, annotate and distort them, create thumbnails or manipulate the colormap. While all features are available from the command-line, the package also includes an image viewer that allows interactive manipulation.

Note that unlike ImageMagick, the GraphicsMagick tools are accessed through a single executable called 'gm'. Therefore, GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick can be used in parallel. Install package graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat to obtain a set of several executables that is compatible to ImageMagick's interface.
