Crate photon_rs

A high-performance image processing library, available for use both natively and on the web.

Functions

96 functions are available, including:

• Transformations: Resize, crop, and flip images.
• Image correction: Hue rotation, sharpening, brightness adjustment, adjusting saturation, lightening/darkening all within various colour spaces.
• Convolutions: Sobel filters, blurs, Laplace effects, edge detection, etc.,
• Channel manipulation: Increasing/decreasing RGB channel values, swapping channels, removing channels, etc.
• Monochrome effects: Duotoning, greyscaling of various forms, thresholding, sepia, averaging RGB values
• Colour manipulation: Work with the image in various colour spaces such as HSL, LCh, and sRGB, and adjust the colours accordingly.
• Filters: Over 30 pre-set filters available, incorporating various effects and transformations.
• Text: Apply text to imagery in artistic ways, or to watermark, etc.,
• Watermarking: Watermark images in multiple formats.
• Blending: Blend images together using 10 different techniques, change image backgrounds.

Example

extern crate photon_rs;
use photon_rs::{channels};
use photon_rs::native::{open_image, save_image};
fn main() {
    // Open the image (a PhotonImage is returned)
    let mut img = open_image("image.jpg");
    // Apply a filter to the pixels
    channels::alter_red_channel(&mut img, 25);
    save_image(img, "raw_image.png");    
}

This crate contains built-in preset functions, which provide default image processing functionality, as well as functions that allow for direct, low-level access to channel manipulation. To view a full demo of filtered imagery, visit the official website.

WebAssembly Use

To allow for universal communication between the core Rust library and WebAssembly, the functions have been generalised to allow for both native and in-browser use. Check out the official guide on how to get started with Photon on the web.

Modules

channels	Channel manipulation.
colour_spaces	Image manipulation effects in HSL, LCh and HSV.
conv	Convolution effects such as sharpening, blurs, sobel filters, etc.,
effects	Special effects.
filters	Preset color filters.
helpers	Helper functions for converting between various formats
monochrome	Monochrome-related effects and greyscaling/duotoning.
multiple	Image manipulation with multiple images, including adding watermarks, changing backgrounds, etc.,
native	Native-only functions. Includes functions that open images from the file-system, etc.,
noise	Add noise to images.
text	Draw text onto an image. For extended graphic design/text-drawing functionality, see GDL, which is a graphic design library, compatible with Photon.
transform	Image transformations, ie: scale, crop, resize, etc.,

Structs

PhotonImage	Provides the image's height, width, and contains the image's raw pixels. For use when communicating between JS and WASM, and also natively.
Rgb	RGB color type.
