Hi there,
I'm trying to open colour BMPs using PIL and I'm getting the following
errors.
Opening a 16 colour BMP I get:
>>> im = Image.open("image.bmp")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
im = Image.open("lightbulb2.bmp")
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1901, in open
return factory(fp, filename)
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageFile.py", line 82, in
__init__
self._open()
File "C:\python25\lib\site-packages\PIL\BmpImagePlugin.py", line 164,
in _open
self._bitmap(offset=offset)
File "C:\python25\lib\site-packages\PIL\BmpImagePlugin.py", line 120,
in _bitmap
raise IOError("Unsupported BMP compression (%d)" % compression)
IOError: Unsupported BMP compression (2)
>>>
Opening a 256 colour BMP I get:
>>> im = Image.open("image.bmp")
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using Windows XP with Python 2.5. I can open monochrome BMPs fine
but I don't want that. If you could help that would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks and good luck.
