Image Tools (ImageMagick)

Comprehensive image editing toolkit using ImageMagick. Resize, crop, composite (overlay), pad, annotate, adjust (brightness/contrast/blur/rotate/flip), remove backgrounds, convert formats, and get image info. All operations are non-destructive (output to new file).

Pixel-level image manipulation via shell scripts. For AI-based editing (add/remove content with prompts), see nano-banana-pro.

Requires: imagemagick (apt install imagemagick / brew install imagemagick)
