Awesome Video. Just a little rectification. The "L" mode that you used for converting your image into black and white, is actually for converting an image into greyscale. A black and white image only consists of 2 colors (Black & White) and the image that you converted had several shades of grey(0-255). For Converting an image into black and white you have to use "1" mode which stands for 1 bit per pixel which truly resembles a Black & White image, use that in disabled dither mode to actually see the black and white image otherwise you will see you image with grainy noise. You can sort of see this just by looking at the image, a black and white image should just contain black and white not any other color.

[@user-ph2bc8kc6c]

I just love the super detailed explanations accompanied by writing the code. Really amazing work here Corey and I hope you'll make more videos about Python libraries and common misunderstanding developers have. Big thank you!

My mindvoice : What in Python does Corey Schafer doesn't know? Best Python instructor on KZbin. Hope you can start some Udemy courses, Corey. People will be flocking towards your course.

[@ednawatirainarli720]

thanks God, I found your channel. Actually, I'm a beginner in python. Your explanation is simple and understandable. Thank you

[@salarghaffarian4914]

You are the best instructor! Thanks for your valuable videos.

[@GeorgeFoxRules]

You are very good teacher by the way

[@asma-pe3rx]

The best python teacher...

[@queensofthedthrone8267]

How are you running your command? Each time you do it you click off-screen and bang, the program works! I have to terminal each and every time. It seems like you're using Sublime Text, or something formateed very similar. Very interseted in this answer and in watching more of your videos because...this one was the best programming video I've ever seen yet.

[@coreyms]

Hey there. I'm not clicking off screen, I'm just pressing Cmd+b. That is how you run code within Sublime Text. There are several other ways we could execute it via the terminal, but this is how I usually do it in my videos. Thanks for the question.

[@donsanjino]

I'm using pycharm. It similarly uses Cmd+r to execute code. If you have to use terminal every time, you can maybe try out pycharm. There are two free versions: community (PC), and Education (PE).

[@maheshrenganathan2127]

Dear Corey Schafer, Thanks a lot for all of your Python tutorials. I am basically from science background, however, i am able to do python code in data analytics field. You are just amazing in teaching those. Then, I request you to make one video about HyperSpy and spectral python package's application.

[@asmadja51]

you have the blood of a genius! thank you man!

[@Bangjamal]

very informative video buddy highly appreciat your work

[@gnypp45]

A great video for me to get started with this library. Thanks!

[@df6148]

I like it. Going to have to learn more about the OS feature and how to loop through files and such without destroying my own directories lol but this looks like exactly what I will use when I have a better understanding of how that part works. Thank you

[@coreyms]

I have a video on the OS module as well if you'd like to learn more about that in-depth. You can search for it on my channel

[@df6148]

@@coreyms Awesome Thanks a lot!

[@qwe123727]

Corey, I wish you could talk about byte datatype and its usage at low level stuff(like windows/unix files). I think, your intro stuf with this series will avoid me reading "dive into python" book

[@TheMarbo74]

Great video.. as usual! I'm concerned about the following note found on the Pillow website: "Pillow and PIL cannot co-exist in the same environment. Before installing Pillow, please uninstall PIL." Is PIL pre-installed on the default Python installation? If yes, how do we do that? Thanks

[@shahriarkeshvary1459]

Great video but I have question. I looked around a lot to figure out a way to convert a 'jp2' image to something else. Apparently 'PIL' library does not support this format. I also tried the 'matplotlib' and that one did not work as well. do you have any recommendation to how convert a 'jp2' format to a 'mpeg' or 'Jpeg' using python? I really appreciate the help.

[@HaguDeGozaru]

Thanks for this concise demonstration.

[@nimrataneem9182]

This is one of the best tutorials i came across and explanations are also very clear! I have a small problem though cuz when i tried to do the reverse, that is, convert png to jpg it wasn't working and was showing error. how to i solve that?

[@BarziniNwa]

8:23 you had a chance to make a joke about the spartans

Hi Corey, Any chance we would see some Open CV in the near future?

Hi. Thanks for sharing. Do you prefer Autoretouch, an AI-powered image editing tool to automate ghost mannequins, clipping path, background removal, etc. image editing process? I found it super cool and easy to operate. Need your opinion regarding this.

[@hailyslone7817]

Do you know why an image would have missing pixels when using PIL? and how I could fix this? thanks!!

[@sheebastanley3553]

when you added size_700, how did you change all three 300s at the same time?

[@Infusca]

I am wondering the same thing

[@osiris1102]

Press alt while selecting

[@JordanMQ25]

I line for line have the exact same code and it will crop the image, but only along one axis. Original was 1024x768. New image is 300x200

[@therabidpancake1]

I am very appreciative that you are doing a tutorial on this but I am pretty sure you can do this without using other libraries. I could be wrong .

[@LaunchpadMediaGroup1]

do you know a way to create a new folder within the code as well? I want to create a template script I can use and generate a directory of folders in the process of creating the image variations. Another question is can you put a black or white background on a jpg being created from a transparent png?

[@nulluser0]

great tutorial, and i've seen many. cheers!

[@cartoonjerk]

Thanks a lot for the detailed tutorial. I am wondering if you can do one on the Python 3 version as it is quite different than the one you showed here. Still regardless thanks a lot! It really helps as a start. Also I am using a windows platform, do I still need that os.listdir code? Thanks!

[@DanielWeikert]

Great video. Is there a way to tell python to go to a webserver, login and enter the folder to change the files there or does this only work locally? Thanks

[@coreyms]

I'm sure there are ways you can do that. Is this a webserver you have access to? If so, it may be worthwhile to install python on that server and maybe run a cron task to do what you want on a regular basis. I'm not sure of your usecase exactly, but we do things like that at my work a lot. Hope that helps. Thanks.

[@richardfinney2548]

Thank you so much!!! Awesome tutorial and very much appreciated :)

[@DANJUMA9]

Awesome, was looking for this. Thanks.

[@lionpersia]

I looked up online but I couldn't find it. The method PIL.Image.getpixel(x, y) is 0-based or 1-based? I mean, do the coordinates start from 0 or do they start from 1? Thank you in advance.

[@rpattnaik2000]

Very Very helpful videos man .... Keep them coming :)

[@ErnestGWilsonII]

Another great video, thank you for making this and sharing it with all of us! Following along this video and referencing another video that you made, would it be advisable to make a context method for doing image manipulation? One of your previous videos uses something you call a context method for opening and closing files, but in that video you mention a context method could be created for various other tasks, I am wondering if this image manipulation would be applicable?

[@saidalkharusi7824]

Hey there, great tutorial! One small question: How did you manage to do the awesome trick just around 10:00, where you changed 300 to 700 but only some and not all of them?

Hi! What code shall I use, in Python when I have to check automatically like 400 high resolution photos(RGB,thermal,and daylight)? The program shall detect sub-milimmiter anomalies(like small cracks) inside of each photo,if any,if not should scan the next one,etc.Exemple of inspection:wind turbines,flare stacks,etc. Thanks in advance, Costel

[@WesleySatelis]

+FLORIN RACOVEANU I guess you're gonna have to figure that out, isn't that what programming is supposed to be? pypi.python.org/pypi/PIL this might be a good way to start. Happy coding!

Sir, how to change aspect ratio as well. thumbnail(size) only change size and that to a limit that don't change the aspect ratio of the image so, how can we ensure that all images have same aspect ratios and a uniform size(like 300 x 300 and not something like 300 x 250 )

[@trikkee]

Thank you !

[@malcolmvanorder5453]

I know it's out of scope for this video, but if someone were using windows and duplicated your steps exactly, the "/" wouldn't be correct. Since you've already imported os, you can use os.path.join() as a platform agnostic way of building the path to the files.

[@jonathanarias2729]

Amazing tutorial! but I tried to change the size of an image ( image1.thumbnail(size_300).save('Resized_Image.png') ) it said that none type object has no attribute save

[@olehdiatlenko4463]

I guess it comes handy to make pics smaller. But rotation or color changing much better do with js on frontend part.

[@coreyms]

That may be true, but I would argue there are use cases for modifying images in this way outside the context of a website.

[@128Gigabytes]

Hey Corey is it possible to create new images using PIL instead of just editing?
