The basics of Pillow, Python’s image manipulation library

Overview

Python comes with many things, but by default it does not have tools for manipulating images. The third-party Pillow library, formerly known as PIL (the Python Imaging Library), provides a slew of modules for reading various image formats, processing image data, performing common manipulations like thumbnailing, and saving images back to files. In this video we'll walk through the basics of using Pillow, and also single out some of the caveats of working with it, such as its internal inconsistencies and quirks.
