NAME

photomean - GIMP plug-in to calculate average pixel-value for an image. Used in the production of photomosaic pictures.

SYNOPSIS

Copy to your GIMP plug-ins directory. Run as either

/path/to/photomean -file /path/to/imagefile 

or from the Toolbox/Xtns/Perl-Fu menu within GIMP.

ABSTRACT

This script calculates the average pixel value of an image. The image should be in RGB or RGB-A format - greyscale images are first converted. Only the active layer of the image will be used.

The pixel value is output to stdout along with the filename, and this can be used verbatim as an entry in a library index file for pmosaic, which should accompany this software.
