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!
