#!/usr/bin/perl =head1 NAME gimp-ahsv - Apply "Autostetch HSV" effect on a number of JPEG images =head1 SYNOPSIS gimp-ahsv [options] FILE... Options: -?, --help --man -v, --verbose =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-?> =item B<--help> Print a brief help message and exits. =item B<--man> Prints the manual page and exits. =item B<-v> =item B<--verbose> This option increases the amount of information you given during program run. By default, gimp-ahsv works silently. =head1 DESCRIPTION This program applies "Image/Colors/Auto/Autostetch HSV" effect from gimp in batch mode on a number of JPEG images. This effect often improves contrast of pictures and improves their overall look. =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS Loading and saving JPEG files decreases quality of the images. For the purposes I use this script such quality drop is acceptable. If it is not acceptiable for you than use other formats. You should replace file_jpeg_load/file_jpeg_save method calls with other methods from file_xxx_load/file_xxx_save family if you want to use this script with other formats. Unfortunately even in batch mode gimp requires X server so it is impos +sible to run this script without it. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2002 Ilya Martynov. All rights reserved.

Update: I forgot to put Gimp->file_jpeg_save into eval. Fixed.

    Excellent perl script. Works like a charm and does a great job: jpeg file size went down without any noticeable quality degradation. One request though: Would it be possible to add an image re-size option please?
      You can find names of methods that correspond to various Gimp operations via Gimp's PDB Explorer (menu Xtns/PDB Explorer). In this case it is gimp_image_scale. According docs avialable via PDB Explorer this function expects following parameters:
      In: IMAGE image INT32 new_width INT32 new_height
      Perl module Gimp that provides bindings allows you to call this function as
      Gimp->gimp_image_scale($img, $new_width, $new_height);
      It also does some magick so you can call same operation under different names. All following calls do the same thing:
      Gimp->gimp_image_scale($img, $new_width, $new_height); Gimp->image_scale($img, $new_width, $new_height); $img->scale($new_width, $new_height);
      All you have to do is adding such call before saving jpeg file.

      You can learn more from documenation in Gimp module and from Gimp-Perl web site.
