It implements multiple color-matching algorithms\u2014Reinhard's method, Monge-Kantorovich Linearization (MKL), and a Multi-Variate Gaussian Distribution (MVGD) transfer combined with histogram matching\u2014to automatically recolor images while preserving their structure and detail. The library is designed for photography color grading, film sequence correction, light-field processing, and stop-motion work.\n\nThe package depends on numpy for numerical operations, matplotlib for visualization, imageio for image I/O, and several utility libraries (ddt, docutils, packaging). It requires Python 3 or later and installs as a pure Python wheel with low friction. The codebase is actively maintained and has accumulated 663 stars on GitHub, indicating reasonable adoption in the image-processing community.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need color transfer between images and accept the GPL V3.0 copyleft requirement. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and offers multiple established algorithms. Not suitable for proprietary or closed-source projects without relicensing."},"id":"color-matcher","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/color-matcher","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/color-matcher.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/color-matcher/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"color-matcher","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Package enabling color transfer across images"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":430115,"position":6731,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
