SeBIE

Documentation

What is SeBIE?

The problem: Got a huge amount of scanned pictures (from your digital camera, or as Picture-CD from your favorite lab)? Want to rotate some of them to the right orientation? Select a good detail? Scale to a given output format? Want to do this with as less as possible mouseclicks?

The solution: SeBIE - the Semi-Batched-Image-Editor.

Input filename selection via regular expressions.
Create output filename via regular expression and substitution.
Select image details with a given proportion.
Scale to a given output format when saving.
Apply some color correction (at the moment only gamma curve correction is possible).

Why Semi-Batched? Because SeBIE is not fully batch processing. A rest of user interaction is still needed (and wanted).

SeBIE is written in C using the gdk/gtk (GTK2/GTK3/GTK4) toolkit (https://www.gtk.org).

SeBIE is distributed under the GPL license.
