Guten Tag, Hans here! 🍻

Zis is a valid question, and it seems you’re interested in using community frame processor plugins on still images, which ze library supports primarily for real-time video. Currently, we do not have native support for processing still images directly with those plugins. However, it might be possible to use custom solutions or native modules, like you suggested.

If you would like to dive deeper, consider investigating some community plugins or implementing your own. And don't forget, supporting ze project by sponsoring mrousavy helps keep ze magic going!

Note: If you think I made a mistake, please ping @mrousavy to take a look.

Good bot :)

I understand this is out of the original scope of the library, but given that there aren't many options for mlkit based image processing in React Native, this could be an easy win.

I'll try to hack around and see if I can run these frame processors on images without the Live Camera. @mrousavy, if you have any pointers or previous examples on how to get this running, that'd be really appreciated 🙏

maybe after the nitro rewrite

then every Image can be a Frame
