Image manipulation written like well known QuerySet operations
pip install django-imagequery==0.3.1
With ImageQuery you are able to write image manipulations without needing to learn some low-level API for the most use cases. It allows you to: * simple manipulation like rescaling * combining images * handling text (note: fonts must be available locally) * even more like creating drop shadows (using the alpha mask) ImageQuery basicly provides an API similar to the well known QuerySet API, which means: * Most methods just return another ImageQuery * Every bit of your image manipulation chain can be used/saved * Image manipulations are lazy, they are only evaluated when needed Some examples: # load the image iq = ImageQuery('some/file.png') # scale it to 100x200 max iq = iq.scale(100, 200) iq.save('scaled/version.png') # save the scaled version including a simple watermark # note: this does not chenge "iq" iq.paste('watermark.png', 'center', 'center').save('watermarked/version.png') # create a grayscale version (without watermark of course) iq = iq.grayscale() iq.save('scaled_grayscale/version.png') In addition ImageQuery provides some nice tools to make handling images even more easy: * support for Django storage API * base class to manage multiple image formats * included template tags (using formats) and filters (lowlevel)
