ICRS (Interactive Color Range Analyzer)

ICRS is a small Tkinter tool for analysing colour ranges in images. You load a picture, pick or click a reference colour, adjust hue/saturation/value sliders, and the app marks matching pixels while showing quick stats.

Features

• Two synced previews (original + overlay)
• Hue/Sat/Value sliders with presets and image colour picker
• Exclusion rectangles to ignore regions
• Theme toggle (light/dark) with rounded toolbar buttons
• Folder support with previous/next navigation
• Quick overlay export (PNG) and optional defaults via config.toml

Requirements

• Python 3.11+ (3.10 works with tomli)
• uv for dependency management
• Tkinter (install separately on some Linux distros)

Setup with uv

git clone https://git.lukasmahler.de/lm/ICRS.git
cd ICRS
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate         # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install .                  # install ICRS and dependencies
uv run icrs                       # launches the GUI

The launcher copies Tcl/Tk resources into the virtualenv on first run, so no manual environment tweaks are needed.

Workflow

1. Load an image (📂) or a folder (📁).
2. Pick a colour (🎨 dialog, 🖱️ image click, or preset swatch).
3. Fine‑tune sliders; watch the overlay update on the right.
4. Move through folder images with ⬅️ / ➡️.
5. Draw exclusions with right drag; reset or save when ready.

Config Defaults

Optional config.toml:

[defaults]
hue_min = 250.0
hue_max = 310.0
sat_min = 15.0
val_min = 15.0
val_max = 100.0
alpha = 120
