SHORT DESCRIPTION
Describes the PSImageTools module in the Windows 7 Resource Kit.
LONG DESCRIPTION
The PSImageTools module contains functions that manage and edit image files, such
as photographs, in Windows PowerShell.
The PSImageTools module adds the following basic functions to your session
when you import the module.
Get-Image Gets image objects with many useful properties. Provides
methods to load, save, crop, resize, rotate, and flip images.
Get-ImageProperty Gets extended properties for the image, such as shutter speed
and resolution.
Copy-ImageIntoOrganizedFolder
Creates a set of folders based on properties that you specify
and copies image files into the folders based on their
property values.
ConvertTo-Bitmap Converts images to bitmap format (.bmp).
ConvertTo-Jpeg Converts images to JPEG format (.jpg, .jpeg).
The PSImageTools module also adds filtering functions to your session. You can use these
more advanced functions to edit images when the basic functions do not provide a feature
that you need.
The Add-*Filter functions create a Windows Image Acquisition filter that represents a change to one or
more images. The filters alone do not change images. To apply a filter to an image, use
the Set-ImageFilter function.
Add-CropFilter Creates a filter that crops images.
Add-OverlayFilter Creates a filter that overlays one image on another.
Add-RotateFlipFilter Creates a filter that rotate and flips images.
Add-ScaleFilter Creates a filter that resizes images.
Set-ImageFilter Edits an image by applying a filter.
For information about these functions, use the Get-Help cmdlet. For example,
to get detailed help for the Get-Image function, type "get-help get-image -detailed."
These functions are implemented as scripts, but are available in the
session as functions.
