Once you generate a perceptual hash for an image, you can use that hash to compute the Hamming Distance between it and the hash of another image. With the ready-to-run Python code provided below, you can easily compare two perceptual image hash strings in a single request and return an…

One of the best ways to track down duplicates of a copyright image is by using perceptual hashes — and to do that, you need to create these hashes in the first place. Using the complementary Python code below, you can easily take advantage of a perceptual hash generation API…

Year over year, handheld and smartphone cameras seem to receive constant improvements enabling us to take increasingly detailed images. However, detail isn’t always necessary for a desirable photo aesthetic. Through image posterization, you can reduce the number of distinct colors in your image to create a smooth and interesting effect…

Swirl distortion is a common way to imbue images with a unique look. …

Black and white images offer a desirable, moody aesthetic with greater detail in shadowy areas, and they also boast a smaller file size than their color-filled counterparts. Conveniently, calling the below API in your Python workflow will allow you to quickly convert color images to black and white grayscale through…

When we talk about digitally embossing an image, we’re referring to a visual effect which emulates the centuries-old physical embossment process (creating raised surfaces on physical objects for an enhanced look & feel). …

Natural motion blurs occur when an image subject is moving faster than the exposure time of a camera. Motion blur filters, on the other hand, seek to emulate this effect on stationary image subjects with the help of advanced modeling techniques. Thankfully, the below API solution makes it possible to…

Whether you’re reducing the noise in an image simply targeting an interesting visual effect, the Gaussian Blur technique is a great one to have in your arsenal. …

If you’re shipping products to a global market, and those products are too small (lacking physical real estate) for placing barcode labels, chances are high that you’re going to use EAN-8 barcodes to label your products. …
