How to use the Pillow library in Python.

Opening and Viewing Images

To open and view an image with Pillow, you can use the Image module:

from PIL import Image
# Open an image file
image = Image.open('path/to/your/image.jpg')
# Display the image
image.show()

Replace 'path/to/your/image.jpg' with the actual path to your image file.

Basic Image Operations

Resizing

You can resize images using the resize() method:

# Resize the image to 300x300
resized_image = image.resize((300, 300))
# Show the resized image
resized_image.show()

Cropping

To crop an image, use the crop() method:

# Define the box to crop (left, upper, right, lower)
box = (100, 100, 400, 400)
cropped_image = image.crop(box)
# Show the cropped image
cropped_image.show()

Rotating

You can rotate images by a certain degree using the rotate() method:

# Rotate the image by 90 degrees
rotated_image = image.rotate(90)
# Show the rotated image
rotated_image.show()

Saving Images

To save an image, use the save() method:

# Save the rotated image to a file
rotated_image.save('path/to/save/rotated_image.jpg')

Replace 'path/to/save/rotated_image.jpg' with the desired save location and file name.

Image Filters

Pillow also supports applying different filters to images. Here’s how to apply a blur filter:

from PIL import ImageFilter
# Apply a blur filter to the image
blurred_image = image.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)
# Show the blurred image
blurred_image.show()
