uh hello guys uh welcome to this video
0:02
so in this video I will show you how to
0:04
uh basically make a mini uh image editor
0:08
right in the terminal itself using a
0:11
open-source
0:12
uh package which is image magic so you
0:16
can download this open-source library
0:17
guys by going to this website
0:20
imagemagic.org and they offer the CLI
0:23
tool here you will see for Windows
0:26
uh Linux Mac each operating system it's
0:28
a crossplatform open-source image
0:30
processing library i've already
0:32
downloaded this and once you download
0:34
this inside your terminal you can
0:36
actually edit any sort of image so I I'm
0:40
taking this example here of the image 1
0:43
jpg so I will apply some effects to this
0:46
image so the first command here we
0:50
simply type here magic followed by the
0:52
name of the file which is 1.jpg and then
0:55
we apply the effects so it also have
0:58
this grayscale
1:00
effect so you can see we can pass this
1:03
effect dash grayscale and then we simply
1:06
need to write here rec
1:10
709
1:13
luminous
1:16
luminous l u m i n
1:19
a n c and then the output file name so
1:23
it will be changed to black and white if
1:26
you see so it has basically created this
1:30
image it's uh black and white if you
1:34
see this was the original image and it
1:37
has been changed to black and
1:39
white the next set of filter you can
1:41
apply guys which is this
1:47
one so we simply
1:51
write magic one jpg and then it also
1:54
have this filter which is S P I A sepia
1:59
tone and then you can apply how much
2:01
tone you want to apply i will say
2:04
80% and you will see this will be the
2:08
effect so from the from this library you
2:11
can create these awesome effects right
2:13
in the terminal itself you will see that
2:17
it actually apply this effect safia
2:20
effect
2:24
then we have another one which will
2:27
be this one let me show you negate n E G
2:32
A T E
2:39
negate
2:41
so this is also a very cool little
2:44
effect you can create here you can see
2:48
that and then if you want to blur your
2:50
image you can pass this blur flag dash
2:55
blur and here you can specify the
2:57
dimensions of the blur with
2:59
08 so it will blur out your image very
3:05
easily so you can see
3:07
that so you can actually increase the
3:10
blur here by specifying
3:12
this you can just change it zero can
3:15
modify this command
3:21
then last but not least we can increase
3:23
or decrease the brightness of the image
3:25
by
3:26
specifying brightness flag
3:29
brightness contrast we can specify this
3:33
10 20 and
3:38
then you see that so you can adjust the
3:42
brightness contrast level of the image
3:44
you can see it has now increased the
3:47
brightness of the image right here so uh
3:50
it's a very good uh image processing
3:52
library guys you can install it and just
3:54
build a mini image editor like Photoshop
3:57
or Canva inside your terminal so thank
