**OPTIMA-35** (**Organizing, Processing, Tweaking Images and Modifying scanned Analogs from 35mm Film**) is a Python-based project designed to provide a streamlined way to manage and edit metadata and images from analog photography. But can be used for any images.
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.
The primary focus is on building a terminal-based user interface (TUI). Initially, the interface will utilize `simple_term_menu`, with plans to expand to `textual` for a more dynamic TUI experience in the future.
**Please check** if a new branch is available and read the **changelog** to see the progress and current features of the program. The README might sometimes lag behind.
- While the program works and core features are available, there are currently no safety checks in place. 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` (planned to switch to a different interface later).
- Core features, including image resizing, metadata management, and YAML configuration.
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.
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.
