The Pimp Description

A free command line interface to the Python Imaging Library for simple image manipulations like resizing and rotating The Pimp is a command line interface to the excellent Python Imaging Library (PIL), designed to make applying routine image manipulations such as resizing, rotating and format changing easy and efficient, whether the target is a single image or a large batch of them. The Pimp stands for "Python Image Manipulation Program", a reference to the Gimp, the "GNU Image Manipulation Program", which is what most users of free Unix operating systems use for these sorts of tasks, even though it may be overkill for their purposes. Read the detailed description for more information. If your image manipulation needs are simple (like resizing a wallpaper or rotating a photo taken with the camera held sideways) then using a GUI based image editor is overkill.You don't even need to see the image files in question to do these sorts of manipulations, and installing and updating the Gimp and all its associated libraries wastes your bandwidth, disk space, memory and time and introduces unnecessary security risks.Instead, you should do your image manipulation from the command line, which makes things faster, lighter and more productive. For instance, you can resize an entire directory of photos with a single command instead of hours of point, click, point, click, point, click, click, bloody click pancakes!NOTE: PrettyTable is licensed and provided under the terms of the BSD License.
