Glitch FX 2 (WIP)

The 'sequel' to my first GlitchFX generator!

This project is still a work in progress, but I'm slowly working to add new filters, and improve the documentation.

Steps to get started

• This program uses opencv with python, which requires at Python version 3.6 or higher, and pip 19.3 or higher
• When downloaded/cloned from the repo, navigate to the root directory ("/glitch-fx") and install the necessary dependencies with:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

  After everything is installed, run the main script by typing:

  python glitchfx2

  into the command line.
• Running this program for the first time will create a "src" folder if not already created, for you to store your images in at the root folder ("/glitch-fx/src").
• With a source folder in place, running the above script again should lead to the following prompt:

  Choose an input image file:

  where you input the filename of any image in the "src" folder like this:

  sample.jpg

  You can also add a float value above 0.0 to scale the image up or down (where ommitting it or entering 1.0 will keep the original image size). For example

  sample.jpg 0.5

  will scale the image by half.
• A recurring prompt will be shown afterwards saying

  Enter an effect ~ x to finish:

  exactly what it sounds like. You can refer to the tables below, but the input will be in the following format:

  effectname parameter value

  Example:

  noisy -p 0.2

• When done, press 'x' to exit and display the result

List of operations

Operation	Available Parameters
noisy	-p
scanline	-or
highpass	-p, -k, -a
scanner	-s, -e, -or
burn	-p
warp	-t, -f
random shift	-p, -s, -e
hueshift	-p

Description of Parameters

Parameter	Full Name	Expected Input
-p	percent	A normalized float value between 0.0 and 1.0
-or	orientation	h or v (for 'horizontal' or 'vertical')
-k	kernel size	An odd integer greater than 1 (3,5,7,...)
-a	amplitude	Any number value
-s	start	A normalized float value between 0.0 and 1.0
-e	end	A normalized float value between 0.0 and 1.0 (but greater than -s)
-t	type (of warp)	shearX shearY rotateX or rotateY
-f	factor	Any number value

Future Features

• GUI? (Ideally with tkinter)
• More effects TBD
