You probably shouldn't be using PIL at all then. Why open the file in Python just to export it and re-open it in an image viewer? It would be simpler just to point whichever image viewer you prefer at the original file directly. Your entire script could just be something like this: import subprocess # Some timing logic subprocess.call("display " + imagepath, shell=True) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
