simple image processing in python

[Kevin Cazabon]

The "current" version of PIL (Python Imaging Library) is very up to date...
you're probably looking at version 0.3 or something like that.

Check out www.pythonware.com for the latest versions.  They have the 1.1
source files available, as well as 1.0 pre-compiled for Windows (and links
to Linux binaries too).  You can easily get the sizes of the files with PIL,
without loading the entire image.

#sample
import Image

im = Image.open("c:/temp/test.tif")
size = im.size

print size

>>> (768, 512)

PIL doesn't actually load the data until you perform an operation that
requires that it is loaded... so just getting the size is very quick, even
with a 400MB image file.

| hi,
|
| I have a simple need of geting image size from either .jpg or .tif. I

| python imaging SIG got a distribution which seems pretty old (1997).

| I wonder what is usually/effective way to get it done?

| Thanks for your help
