[@raphaelpavan6540]

I did it but it doesn't work as well. When I use another imagae, it erases the previous :(. I even changed the whole code to put it into a class, but still not working

[@Kennethlumor]

Sir please my Application that is using the pill function is GUI, when i run the application the image display well, but after i logout from admin dashboard then i get this error saying "_tkinter.TclError: image "pyimage4" doesn't exist. And when i follow your instruction it doesn't work

[@NoMouthNoScream]

it just says there is no PIL module and when I try to install pillow it says requirements already met

[@infodipen]

I had a similar issue. I did everything available on StackOverflow and other KZbin videos. Then I uninstalled python 3.13 and installed python 3.12 (this is the current stable version) Once I did that then I had an issue with path error and no codes were running in vscode. Then I found that we need to delete the existing virtual environment (.venv) file and reconfigure it with a new venv. It worked. Now I am not able to load images in tkinter. This is how we met :P One issue after another makes this more fun.

[@FabioMusanni]

Glad it was helpful 💪😉

[@Kennethlumor]

Sir please i'm also facing the same problem but my own is actually a GUI so what happen is when i run the application it work fine or the image display then when i want to logout from admin dashboard to the home page then i get this error saying _tkinter.TclError: image "|pyimage4" doesn't exist

[@beautifulearth8163]

I am facing same problem

[@beautifulearth8163]

And it's not after flowing this step

[@Kennethlumor]

God bless you for this video and replying my message i'm exited

[@glorialau8337]

Thank you so much for sharing that, it helps!

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello Gloria! 🤗 Thank you for the comment, I'm glad it was helpful 💪😊

[@beautifulearth8163]

Ahhhhhh.. It's not working after following this step also showing pyimage doesn't exist

[@zigaudrey]

Python can be very frustrating. Found out we don't need pil to display a PNG file on TKinter.

[@FabioMusanni]

You don't always need PIL but you need it for a lot of files so I always use it. This problem with images is there anyway, whether you use PIL or not.

[@ShivKatira]

You're AWESOME!!!!!

[@FabioMusanni]

Thank you so much for the comment! Really appreciated! 🤗😍

[@Emre-dy2uq]

I am shocked with the video. When I tried your solution, it didnot work at the beginnig. It was still saying pyimage4 did not found which made me angry. I closed the python while swearing to tkinter, when I reopen it, It basically worked :)

[@FabioMusanni]

Glad it worked! 💪😊

[@fonta22]

Thank you!

[@FabioMusanni]

Hello 😊 First of all, how did you import PIL? Because "PILImage" doesn't look right to me.

[@FabioMusanni]

@chrisplayz383 I usually use that too, especially because I use the shortcut to comment out multiple lines and it automatically uses the #.

[@6_anuragpathak343]

brooooooooooooooo thank you

[@FabioMusanni]

Glad the video was helpful!! 💪👍

[@rolandojtorres]

no sabes de lo que hablas, tk maneja muy bien las imagenes, python es el problema porque intenta hacerlo todo un objeto.

[@FabioMusanni]

I've already explained it in the video, it's the combination between Tkinter and Python itself that causes this problem. Tkinter doesn't keep a reference to the image object, which causes Python to garbage collect it when for example the function returns. It's a well know issue in Tkinter.

[@Kennethlumor]

Ok sir here is my function that uses the the PILL import os import sys import customtkinter from PIL import Image as PILImage # set resources path for cx_Freeze try: if hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'): """If the script is running in a cx_freeze bundle (i.e. a compiled executable)""" RESOURCES_PATH = os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS) else: """Otherwise, use the current working directory (i.e. the project directory)""" RESOURCES_PATH = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(".")) except Exception as e: print("Error occurred while setting resources path: ", e) def get_ctk_image(icon=None, image_path=None, size=32): try: if icon: """if icon is given, use the corresponding icon image from the resources folder""" image_path = os.path.join(RESOURCES_PATH, 'desktop_ap\icons', f'{icon}.png') return customtkinter.CTkImage(PILImage.open(image_path), size=(size, size)) """create a CTkImage object from the image located at the given path and resize it to the specified size""" except FileNotFoundError as e: print('File not found:', e) except Exception as e: print('Error occurred while getting CTkImage:', e)
