PIL saves image colour wrong
- by Tom Viner
I have an image. I want to resize it using PIL, but it come out
like this.
Even without a resize it still messes up the colour.
Minimal code:
from PIL import Image
import os
import urllib
import webbrowser
orig_url = 'http://mercedesclub.org.uk/images/stackoverflow-question/least-popular-colours-_-500-x-500.jpg'
temp_fn, _ = urllib.urlretrieve(orig_url)
im = Image.open(temp_fn)
fn = os.tempnam() + '.jpg'
im.save(fn)
webbrowser.open(fn)
I've tried Image.open(temp_fn).convert(format) with 'RGB', 'CMYK' and 'L' as formats, but still get weirdly coloured or grey results.
When I load the image from my hard drive and I can see:
>>>im.info
{'adobe': 100,
'progression': 1,
'exif': 'Exif\x00\x00MM\x00*...\x7f\xff\xd9',
'adobe_transform': 100}
>>>im.format
'JPEG'
>>>im.mode
'CMYK'
>>> im._getexif()
{40961: 65535, 40962: 500, 40963: 500, 296: 2, 34665: 164, 274: 1, 305: 'Adobe Photoshop CS Macintosh', 306: '2010:02:26 12:46:54', 282: (300, 1), 283: (300, 1)}
Thanks and let me know if you need any more data.
