Image Cropper is a simple Python GUI application that allows users to crop images easily by drawing bounding boxes with their mouse.
- Install the required Python libraries using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run the Image Cropper application by specifying the directory containing the images:
python image_cropper.py <image_directory>
Replace <image_directory> with the path to the directory containing the images you want to crop.
- Navigate through images in the specified directory using the < and > buttons
- Display the filename of the current image
- Crop images by drawing a bounding box with the mouse
- Save or discard cropped images

Write a Python GUI application called "Image Cropper" that performs the following tasks: [User Interface] The application should show the images in the directory specified by argv[1] one by one in a sequential manner. The application should include two buttons < and > to allow users to navigate between the images. The application should display the filename of the current image in a label.
[Cropping feature] When the user wants to crop an image, they can use the mouse to draw a bounding box around the area they want to crop. The user > can initiate the crop by clicking and dragging the mouse to create a rectangular box on the image. The application should display the box as the user is dragging it, with a red border that is 2 pixels wide.
The user can release the mouse button to finalize the crop. Once the crop is finalized, the application should display the cropped image in a separate window, and the user can choose to save the cropped image or discard it.
If the user wants to crop the image again, they can repeat the process by clicking and dragging the mouse to create a new bounding box. The application should allow the user to crop the image as many times as they want.
In summary, the application should provide an intuitive and user-friendly way for the user to crop images by drawing bounding boxes with their mouse.
