Our photo manipulation strategy

Create a new image by making a copy that tweaks the original image

Produce the new image by going left to right from top to bottom

Determining a pixel for a new image will be a local decision

Note: not all image manipulations can be carried out this way

Basic photo-manipulation problem-solving pattern

# get dimensions of the original
ow, oh = ...

# set dimensions of the new image
nw, nh = ...

# get a new appropriately sized image
new_image = Image.new( 'RGB', ( nw, nh ) )

# fill in every pixel of the new image
for nx in range( 0, nw ) : # consider every x value for the new image
for ny in range( 0, nh ) : # in tandem with every y value for the image

# set the spot to be filled in the new image
nspot = (nx ,ny )

# determine the corresponding spot of interest in the original
ospot = ...

# get the pixel at the ospot
opixel = ...

# determine the pixel for the new image
npixel = ...

# set the nspot in the new image
...

# return the filled in new image
return new_image

Basic photo-manipulation problem-solving Python function

def manip( original, size, color, at ) :
''' Provide a pattern for image manipulation
function size(): determines new image size based on the original
function color(): determines pixelation based on the original pixel
function at(): determines pixel location relative to original
'''

# set dimensions of the new image
nw, nh = size( original )

# get a new appropriately sized image
new_image = Image.new( 'RGB', ( nw, nh ) )

# fill in every pixel of the new image
for nx in range( 0, nw ) : # consider every x value for the new image
for ny in range( 0, nh ) : # in tandem with every y value for the image
# set the spot to be filled in the new image
nspot = ( nx, ny )

# determine the corresponding spot of interest in the original
ospot = at( nspot, nw, nh )

# get the pixel at the ospot
opixel = original.getpixel( ospot )

# determine the pixel for the new image
npixel = color( opixel )

# set the nspot in the new image
new_image.putpixel( nspot, npixel )

# return the filled in new image
return new_image

Actual photo-manipulation problem-solving Python function

def same_size( image ) :
return image.size

def same_color( pixel ) :
return pixel

def same_at( spot, w, h ) :
return spot

def manip( original, size=same_size, color=same_color, at=same_at ) :
