I'm not entirely sure how this group works: if there is a page I'm supposed to follow up on or if I should expect an email in reply. Anyway, here's my question.
I'm very new to Python and PIL, I know how to do this stuff in perl and ImageMagick, but I'm having issues with Python and PIL. I need to scale a TIFF image from 1925x588 px to a GIF of 600xnnn px. I've tried the following code, but it leads to a lot of extra odd colored pixels being inserted into the resulting image. img = "tmp/tmsho20080901.tif" im = Image.open("tmp/tmsho20080901.tif") w, h = im.size im.thumbnail((600, h * 600 / w), Image.ANTIALIAS) newimg = im.resize((600, int(h * (600.0 / w))), Image.ANTIALIAS) newimg.save("tmsho20080901.gif") Using ImageMagick's convert I would do this... convert -colors 256 -resize 600 -colorspace RGB -black-threshold 100 - contrast -intent Perceptual tmp/tmsho20080901.tif tmsho20080901.gif I think it may have something to do with the palette or the number of colors alotted for the resulting image, but I'm really not a graphics guy. Any help on this would be appreciated. Samuel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
