Image handling - stupid question
I'm going to try to write some imange manipulation code (scaling, reading EXIF and IPTC info) and just want to ask if PIL is *THE* library to use? I looked at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ and noticed that the latest version is from Dec 2006. In my experience that means that either it's abandoned or that it's very good and stable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

My own experience is that it's indeed a pretty good and AFAICT stable library. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Certainly the latter. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Depends on your requirements, but it's certainly the first library I would check out. It offers lots of functionality, it is easy to use, well documented and rock solid.

Sounds like PIL is a safe option, thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Sounds like PIL is a safe option, thanks. Yes, certainly, PIL is the way to go. But beyond that, if you are going to do any fancy manipulation of the array of pixels (e.g., image processing, image recognition, convolution, ...), then I'd recommend numpy for the array manipulation. (And perhaps even the full-blown scipy.) Numpy can easily access and manipulate the pixel arrays produced by PIL. It's an awesome combination.
