AutoPhotoEditor

💼 Commercial Project — part of a private or client-facing initiative.

AutoPhotoEditor is a powerful and automated photo processing pipeline built using Python and WPF. This tool monitors a designated folder for new image files (RAW, JPG, PNG), performs a series of transformations, and integrates with Cloudinary and Comarch ERP XL for streamlined image management.

Features

• 📂 Folder Monitoring: Automatically detects new image files placed into a watched folder.
• 🔄 File Conversion:
  • Converts RAW files to JPG format.
• 🖼️ Image Processing:
  • Scales images down to a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 while maintaining aspect ratio.
  • Uploads images to Cloudinary for background removal.
  • Crops the image to the largest bounding box.
  • Applies a custom watermark to the image.
• 💾 File Management:
  • Saves both watermarked and non-watermarked versions.
  • Moves original files to an archive directory.
• 🖥️ User Interface (WPF):
  • Displays processed image with zoom and pan support.
  • Allows users to save the image to a product card in Comarch ERP XL via cdn_api.
  • Provides an option to delete images from the saved folder.

Technologies Used

• Python - Core image processing and automation logic
• WPF (.NET) - Desktop UI for displaying and managing images
• Cloudinary - Background removal service
• Comarch ERP XL - Product card integration via cdn_api
• PIL / OpenCV - Image processing libraries

Setup & Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/calKU0/AutoPhotoEditor.git
   cd AutoPhotoEditor

2. Create and activate a Python virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure your environment:

   • Set up Cloudinary credentials.
   • Configure paths for watched folder, save directories, and archive.
   • Set up access credentials for Comarch ERP XL.

5. Build the WPF application using Visual Studio (or compatible IDE).
