imageproc (PistonDevelopers) VS image

I suggest you have a look at the [imageproc](https://github.com/image-rs/imageproc) crate. Personally, I feel like image processing / manipulation in Rust has a long way to go, though.

FTR there is a WebP decoder implementation in safe Rust in the image crate: https://github.com/image-rs/image

It used to be quite incomplete for a long time, but work last year has implemented many webp features. Chromium now has a policy of allowing the use of Rust dependencies, so maybe Chromium could start adopting it?

Hello! So I have a local app that I am currently running on desktop (windows). I'm using egui for the UI, and the program basically opens a folder, gets all the images in the folder, and then uses the image-rs library to resize and create a grid of images / some other operations.

png is the de-facto standard Rust crate for reading and writing PNG images, used e.g. by the image crate.

There's also a CLI to convert between formats. It uses the crate image.

exr is a is a 100% Rust and 100% safe code library for reading and writing OpenEXR images. It is used by the popular image crate to read and write OpenEXR.

We're currently looking for contributors to add support for zune-jpeg to the image crate. The image maintainers are open to it, but don't have the capacity to do it themselves. You can find more details here.

It uses https://github.com/1Password/arboard and https://github.com/image-rs/image under the hood. I haven't tested deeply but I assume it should handle many formats out of the box.

You can use the image crate.

As for image processing, I'd start on crates.io and search for "image processing" and skim through to find the most downloaded crates -- image seems to be the most popular, with over 7 million downloads, so I'd check if that has what you want, and if not photon-rs seemed relatively mature with perhaps more features (albeit far less commonly used)

Glad it worked out for you—it seemed like the features are there for basic image conversion, but try to do something a little more sophisticated and you run into some severe design limits. Here is the kind of underlying problem I’m talking about:
