# OPTIMA-35 TUI *version*

## Overview
Fork from **OPTIMA-35** (**Organizing, Processing, Tweaking Images and Modifying scanned Analogs from 35mm Film**) which will preserve the TUI

This project is a *port* of my earlier work, an collection of [bash script](https://gitlab.com/sf-bashscripts/analogphotography), transitioning functionality to a more modular and maintainable design.

## **Current Status**
- While the program works and core features are available, there are currently some safety checks missing. For example, the program will write / save an image without verifying if a file with the same name already exists.
- Additionally, while EXIF data/metadata should be implemented correctly, there is a possibility of overlooked issues. In the worst case, a program might throw an error when handling EXIF data, though this has not occurred so far.

### Available Features:
- Initial basic TUI functionality using `simple_term_menu`
- Core features:
  - resizing
  - renaming
  - grayscale
  - Change brightness
  - Change contrast
  - Exif management
  - Add watermark

## Dependencies
To run **OPTIMA-35 TUI**, the following Python libraries are required:

- **pyyaml**: To handle YAML files for configuration and settings.
- **piexif**: To read, modify, and write EXIF metadata.
- **pillow**: For image processing.
- **simple\_term\_menu**: For building the initial TUI interface.

### Installing Dependencies
You can install the dependencies using `pip`:

```bash
pip install pyyaml piexif pillow simple-term-menu
```

Alternatively, you can use `conda` or its alternatives (`anaconda`, `mamba`, `micromamba`):

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge pyyaml piexif pillow simple-term-menu
```

# Use of LLMs
In the interest of transparency, I disclose that Generative AI (GAI) large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Ollama models (e.g., OpenCoder and Qwen2.5-coder), have been used to assist in this project.

## Areas of Assistance:
- Project discussions and planning
- Spelling and grammar corrections
- Suggestions for suitable packages and libraries
- Guidance on code structure and organization

In cases where LLMs contribute directly to code or provide substantial optimizations, such contributions will be disclosed and documented in the relevant sections of the codebase.
