Hi Julien, how did you install scikit-image? Are you using a scientific Python distribution such as Anaconda or Canopy? Did you try re-installing scikit-image after installing pillow? Which version of scikit-image did you install? Emma On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 06:21:00PM +0200, Julien Derr wrote:

Hi everyone, I have a very basic problem, but I have no idea how to solve it ! I installed scikitimage on a new computer, and I cannot manage to load an image with the io module

from skimage import io,  works fine :

Variable   Type      Data/Info ------------------------------ filename   str       ./small.jpg io         module    <module 'skimage.io' from<...>skimage/io/__init__.pyc'>

but when I want to load my image: I get the error

In [5]: camera = io.imread(filename)

ValueError: Could not load "./small.jpg" Please see documentation at: http://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ installation.html#external-libraries

I went on the website where they ask to unistall PIL before installing pillow, this is what I did, and still I get the error ...

any ideas ?

thanks a lot!

Julien
