Image Manipulation with Python

Part 1

The Pillow library in Python is a vital tool for anyone interested in digital image manipulation. Whether you’re a seasoned programmer or just starting out, our post will guide you through the basics of using Pillow to edit, transform, and enhance images. From opening and saving images in different formats to applying complex transformations and filters, we’ll cover essential techniques fundamental to digital image processing. We aim to provide clear, practical examples you can easily follow and implement. By the end of this post, you’ll have a solid foundation in using Pillow, empowering you to bring your creative ideas to life through programming. So, gear up for an exciting journey into Python and image processing. Let’s unlock the potential of your digital creativity with Pillow!

Installation of Pillow

Before we begin, make sure that Pillow is installed. If necessary, install it using the following command:

!pip install pillow

Importing the Library

We import the necessary classes from the Pillow library.

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFilter

Opening and Viewing Images

To work with an image, we first need to load it using the open method.

image = Image.open("image.jpg")
image.show()

Image Properties

We can check various properties of the image, such as format, mode (e.g., RGB), dimensions, etc.

print("Format:", image.format)
print("Mode:", image.mode)
print("Dimensions:", image.size)

Saving in Another Format

It’s possible to save the image in a different format.

image.save('image_save.png')

Resizing the Image

The resize method is used to change the size of the image.

image = image.resize((400, 300))

Cropping the Image

We can crop the image using the crop method.

image = image.crop((0, 0, 300, 300))

Rotating the Image

The image can be rotated in various ways.

image = image.rotate(45)
image = image.transpose(Image.Transpose.FLIP_LEFT_RIGHT)
image = image.transpose(Image.Transpose.ROTATE_90)

Creating Thumbnails

Creating a thumbnail of the image can be useful for previews.

image.thumbnail((90, 90))
image.save('thumbnail.jpg')
