A CLI Utility for Sorting Pixels in Images

Overview

ASDF-oxide is a command-line utility that sorts pixels in images based on their brightness or color value. It can be used to create interesting effects such as sorting by brightness, creating a "scanline" effect, or simply to experiment with different image processing techniques.
