Sorry, I should have checked the facts a little better: you can set the
quality of the compression when saving:


img = Image.open('old.jpg')
img.thumbnail((640,480), Image.ANTIALIAS)
img.save('new.jpg', quality=95)


Now PIL is definitely the way to go. :)

PIL is certainly a fine option, but I noticed that the scaled images
(scaled with the ANTIALIAS filter) are not as good as you can get with,
say, Photoshop. Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but I wish I could
choose a higher quality rescaling algorithm. PIL still rocks though.

Thanks for the answers, I'll use PIL.

PIL is very fit for that. Note that it creates thumbnails already by
itself, you can use that for bigger images too.

Yes. Python Imaging Library (PIL) is the preferred Python way to do
this. The example is right in the documentation.
http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image.htm

from PIL import Image
import glob, os

size = 128, 128

for infile in glob.glob("*.jpg"):
file, ext = os.path.splitext(infile)
im = Image.open(infile)
im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save(file + ".thumbnail", "JPEG")

I prefer using imagemagick whenever I have to do anything related to
images.
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

Resizing an image would be something like this

import os

filename = "picture.png"
outputfile = "picture_resized.png"
new_size = "100x100"
os.system("convert %s -resize %s %s" % (filename, new_size, outputfile))

Scaling pictures

2006-12-28 Thread Kajsa Anka
I would like some advice, I'm going to build a small app that will, among 
other things, scale images so that they can be published on a web site. I've 
never done any image processing in python before so I would like to ask what 
is the best way of doing this, I will not do anything else than scaling the 
images.

I found the Python Imaging Library but before I dive into that I would like 
to know if there is a better way of doing this.
