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, that you can automate easily with Pythion code. This book explains how to use the library, in plain language and with lots of examples.
