Image Processing in Python
Image Processing in Python
Processing raster images with the Pillow library
About the Book
Pillow is the most popular Python image processing library. It provides many of the features found in imaging applications like Photoshop or GIMP, such as loading, saving, resizing, transforming images, as well as converting colours and applying filters, enhancements, and effects. This book will teach you how to use simple Python code to automate these functions using the Pillow library, so that your programs can incorporate advanced image processing. It provides a comprehensive guide to Pillow, in plain language and with lots of examples.
