Advanced Pixel Sorting application made with customtkinter and python

What is Pixel Sorting?

Pixel sorting is a digital image processing technique that involves isolating a horizontal or vertical line of pixels in an image and sorting their positions based on any number of criteria, such as luminosity, hue, or saturation. The result is a glitchy, abstracted image that can be used for artistic purposes. Pixelort is also a software that can do pixel sorting with various options and tweaks. This tool is based on this library: https://github.com/satyarth/pixelsort

Quick Masking Tool

You can draw the mask of the area where you want the pixel sorting effect.

Modes

Modes	Description
Random	Randomly generate intervals. Distribution of widths is linear by default. Interval widths can be scaled using character length.
Edges	Performs an edge detection, which is used to define intervals.
Threshold	Intervals defined by lightness thresholds; only pixels with a lightness between the upper and lower thresholds are sorted.
Waves	Intervals are waves of nearly uniform widths. Control width of waves with character length.
Reference	Intervals taken from another specified input image. Should be black and white, and the same size as the input image.
Border	Sort whole rows, only stopping at image borders.

Sorting Functions

Sorting function	Description
Lightness	Sort by the lightness of a pixel according to a HSL representation.
Hue	Sort by the hue of a pixel according to a HSL representation.
Saturation	Sort by the saturation of a pixel according to a HSL representation.
Intensity	Sort by the intensity of a pixel, i.e. the sum of all the RGB values.
Minimum	Sort on the minimum RGB value of a pixel (either the R, G or B).

Conclusion

This project can be helpful for customtkinter developers making similar type of applications, it will also help those who want to experiment pixel sorting and glitch art. Support for more projects!
