| 1 | +# image-effect |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +A comprehensive Rust image effects library built with pure Rust implementations and [imageproc] for specialized operations. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This library provides a unified API for applying various image effects to `RgbaImage` images from the `image` crate. It's designed to be simple, performant, and extensible with **no external image processing library dependencies** except for `imageproc`. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Features |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- **38 Image Effects** organized into 6 categories |
| 12 | +- **Builder Pattern** for all configuration structs with `derive_setters` |
| 13 | +- **Type-safe** configuration with sensible defaults via `derivative` |
| 14 | +- **Unified `Effect` trait** for all effects |
| 15 | +- **Error handling** with custom `ImageEffectError` |
| 16 | +- **Pure Rust implementations** for reliable, consistent behavior |
| 17 | +- **Works with images of any size** (no limitations like some external libraries) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Library Usage Strategy |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +This library uses the following approach: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +1. **Pure Rust implementations** (70.6% of effects) - Custom implementations for full control |
| 24 | +2. **imageproc** (17.6% of effects) - Used for specialized operations like median filtering |
| 25 | +3. **Manual convolution** (11.8% of effects) - Hand-crafted convolution kernels for edge detection, emboss, sharpen |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Why Pure Rust? |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Previously, this library relied heavily on `photon-rs`. However, we encountered critical issues: |
| 30 | +- **Buffer size mismatches** with large images (e.g., 1080P) |
| 31 | +- **Inconsistent behavior** across different image sizes |
| 32 | +- **Limited debugging capabilities** when issues arose |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +By implementing effects in pure Rust, we gain: |
| 35 | +- ✅ **Predictable behavior** at any image size |
| 36 | +- ✅ **Easier debugging** and maintenance |
| 37 | +- ✅ **No hidden dependencies** or version conflicts |
| 38 | +- ✅ **Better performance** control and optimization opportunities |

| 233 | +- **Pure Rust operations** compile to optimized machine code |
| 234 | +- **Convolution kernels** use efficient pixel access patterns |
| 235 | +- **No intermediate allocations** for most operations |
| 236 | +- **imageproc integration** only where it provides significant benefits (median filtering) |
| 237 | +- **All operations work in-place** when possible to minimize memory usage |
