liblqr
brew install liblqr
v0.4.3
LGPL-3.0-only
C library implementing content-aware image resizing via seam carving algorithm.
Why you might care
Seam carving intelligently removes or adds pixels to resize images while preserving important content—useful in image processing pipelines and as a backend for tools like GIMP's Liquid Rescale plugin. It's a specialized algorithm library, not a general-purpose tool; you'll use it as a dependency rather than directly from the shell.
