NAME

aaphoto - automatic color correction of photos

SYNOPSIS

aaphoto [option[s]] [source file[s]]

DESCRIPTION

Auto Adjust Photo is a tiny command-line image manipulation tool for automatic color correction of photos. It tries to make the picture look better. The program does this by analyzing the input image and then sets the most optimal contrast, gamma, color balance and saturation for it.

The following image types are supported (thanks to JasPer, JPEG and PNG):
mif, pnm / pgm / ppm, bmp, ras, jp2, jpc, jpg, png

Quality settings can be applied only to jp2, jpc, jpg formats
