PIL (Python Imaging Library) is a free library for the Python programming language that adds support for opening, manipulating, and saving many different image file formats.
Here are steps how you use PIL:
1. First, you need to install the `Pillow` library, which is an upgraded version of PIL. It supports wide variety of images such as “jpeg”, “png”, “bmp”, “gif”, “ppm”, “tiff”. You can easily install it by using a pip command:
\`\`\` pip install pillow \`\`\`1. After installation, you can use the PIL module in your Python script. First, you should import the `Image` class from the Pillow module:
\`\`\`python from PIL import Image \`\`\`1. Now you can open, manipulate, and save the image file using various methods provided by the `Image` class. For example, let’s open an image, rotate it, and save it:
\`\`\`python from PIL import Image # Open an image file with Image.open(‘sample.jpg’) as img: # Rotate the image img = img.rotate(45) # Save the image img.save(‘rotated\_sample.jpg’) \`\`\` In this example, the `Image.open()` function is used to open an image, the `rotate()` method is used to rotate the image, and the `save()` method is used to save the image.1. There are many methods available to manipulate the images like `crop()`, `resize()`, `convert()`, `filter()`, and others.
Remember, to use the PIL module effectively, you may need to understand a little about the image processing.
