BMPImageFilter

This project is a simple command-line tool that applies various filters to BMP image files. The filters include grayscale, sepia, reflection, and blur. It is implemented in C and uses the BMP file format.

Files

• Makefile: Instructions to compile the program using clang.
• bmp.h: Defines data structures for handling BMP file headers and pixels.
• filter.c: Contains the main function that handles command-line arguments and applies the chosen filter.
• helpers.c: Implements the different image filters.
• helpers.h: Header file declaring the functions implemented in helpers.c.

Filters

• Grayscale: Converts the image to shades of gray.
• Sepia: Applies a sepia tone to the image.
• Reflection: Reflects the image horizontally.
• Blur: Applies a blur effect to the image.

Usage

Compile the program using the Makefile:

make filter

Run the program:

./filter [filter_flag] infile.bmp outfile.bmp

Filter Flags

• -b: Blur
• -g: Grayscale
• -r: Reflection
• -s: Sepia

Example

To apply a sepia filter to an image:

./filter -s infile.bmp outfile.bmp

Notes

• The program only supports 24-bit uncompressed BMP 4.0 files.
• Ensure that your input file is in the correct format before using the tool.
