Getting list of pixel values from PIL

Question

Guys, I\'m looking for a bit of assistance. I\'m a newbie programmer and one of the problems I\'m having at the minute is trying to convert a black & white .jpg

Answer 1

Not PIL, but scipy.misc.imread might still be interesting:

import scipy.misc
im = scipy.misc.imread('um_000000.png', flatten=False, mode='RGB')
print(im.shape)

gives

(480, 640, 3)

so it is (height, width, channels). So you can iterate over it by

for y in range(im.shape[0]):
    for x in range(im.shape[1]):
        color = tuple(im[y][x])
        r, g, b = color
