Its a fair starting point but you will probably get more detailed
answers on the PIL/PILLOW forums since those are the packages
you will likely be using for this kind of work. (Pillow is
for v2/v3, The original PIL for v2 only.)

There are some image manipulation packages in the SciPy/Kit bundles too.

And of course the venerable ImageMagick modules may help too.

Finally the psd-tools package will be useful if you are using
Photoshop files.

I assume you already have a graphics background and know the theory
behind doing all this? ie You are not just a raw beginner?
If so then the libraries mentioned above should get you started.

Pick a UI framework (there are many) and build it.

You are pretty much on your own for these I suspect
("decent improvement" is of course entirely subjective)
