TASK: Image Resizer and Thumbnail Generator

Write a program that resizes images and generates thumbnails at multiple configurable sizes, supporting different resampling algorithms, crop modes, and batch processing of entire directories.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept an image file path as a command-line argument
- Resize to exact dimensions via --size flag (WxH format, e.g., --size 1920x1080)
- Resize by percentage via --scale flag (e.g., --scale 50 for 50% of original size)
- Support multiple resampling algorithms selectable via --algorithm flag: nearest neighbor, bilinear, bicubic, and Lanczos
- Support three resize modes via --mode flag: fit (scale within bounds preserving aspect ratio), fill (scale to cover bounds then center-crop), and stretch (distort to exact dimensions)
- Generate a set of standard thumbnails via --thumbnails flag: small (150x150), medium (300x300), large (600x600), all center-cropped squares
- Support custom thumbnail sizes via --thumb-sizes flag (comma-separated, e.g., --thumb-sizes 64x64,128x128,256x256)
- Add optional padding/border around resized images via --padding flag (pixels) and --border-color flag (hex color)
- Support batch processing of all images in a directory via --batch flag, with --recursive to include subdirectories
- Print processing details to console: original dimensions, new dimensions, algorithm used, output file path, processing time per image
- Save resized images to a directory specified by --output flag (default: resized/ subdirectory)
- If no input is given, generate a sample 2000x1500 test image with fine details (grid lines, text at various sizes, gradient bands), then resize it using each algorithm and each mode to demonstrate the visual differences
- Handle errors: invalid dimensions, unsupported image formats, memory limits for very large images

Create a complete Python project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Python 3.10+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- requirements.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# Image Resizer and Thumbnail Generator (Python)

A tool for high-quality image resizing with support for multiple modes and algorithms.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure Python 3.10+ is installed.
2. Create a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   ```
3. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Fit to size** (Preserve aspect ratio):
  ```bash
  python resizer.py photo.jpg --size 800x600 --mode fit
  ```
- **Fill size** (Cover and crop):
  ```bash
  python resizer.py photo.jpg --size 400x400 --mode fill
  ```
- **Stretch**:
  ```bash
  python resizer.py photo.jpg --size 200x600 --mode stretch
  ```
- **Scale by %**:
  ```bash
  python resizer.py photo.jpg --scale 50
  ```
- **Run Demo**:
  ```bash
  python resizer.py
  ```

## Features
- **Modes**: `fit` (contain), `fill` (cover/crop), `stretch`.
- **Algorithms**: Lanczos (highest quality), Bicubic, Bilinear, Nearest.
- **Sample Generation**: Creates a high-res test pattern if no input provided.
