Import/Export functionality "overhaul"

K-Compressor v1.1.0

Fairly functional application that allows users to compress images down to a specified number of colors, view some of the colors (k-means centroids) used in the compression, and save the compressed image.

Current features

• Functioning k-means compression
• .png/.jpg support
• Color preview on bottom
• Photo saving functionality (updated to retain aspect ratio and pixel structure of original image while retaining speed of functionality)
• Implemented functionality for non-square photos
• Vectorized compression algorithm (98.9% time reduction)
• Auto-fills extensions when saving compressed photos
• Color preview now shows top 6 colors, relevant percentage amounts, and the remaining amount off to the side
• Full code documentation

Upgrade Steps

• Time complexity is good, space complexity is not (numpy does not like dealing with huge photos tiled out k-dimensionally)
• Small text errors (e.g. "remaining 1 colors")
• Versioning for Mac/Linux?

Aspect ratio limiting

Beta release

0.2.0-beta

Almost entirely functional application that allows users to compress images down to a specified number of colors, save the compressed image, and view some of the colors (k-means centroids) used in the compression.

Current features

• Functioning k-means compression
• .png/.jpg support
• Color preview on bottom
• Photo saving functionality
• Implemented functionality for non-square photos
• Vectorized compression algorithm (98.9% time reduction)
• Auto-fills extensions when saving compressed photos

Upgrade Steps

• Still some odd functionality errors when photos are too homogeneous in color
• Small text errors (e.g. "remaining 1 colors")
• Versioning for Mac/Linux?

Alpha release

0.1.0-alpha

Mostly functional application that allows users to compress images down to a specified number of colors, save the compressed image, and view some of the colors (k-means centroids) used in the compression.

Current features

• Functioning k-means compression
• .png/.jpg support
• Color preview on bottom
• Photo saving functionality

Upgrade Steps

• Implement functionality for non-square photos
• Vectorize compression algorithm
• Auto fill .jpg/.png when saving photos
• Color preview expands/scrolls when user inputs more than 6 colors

Bug Fixes

• Rudimentary user error catch handling implemented, could be more verbose
