pixelsort cli

A simple python command line tool for sort pixels in an image. Based on the works of Kim Asendorf.

The script blocks pixels into dark and light areas using a contrast mask. Then it sorts the pixels in a given direction via their luminance.

• You can increase/decrease the contrast by setting the threshold.
• You can also invert the mask to sort the light pixels instead of the dark ones.
