Resizing pictures in PIL in Tkinter

Question

I\'m currently using PIL to display images in Tkinter. I\'d like to temporarily resize these images so that they can be viewed more easily. How can I go about this?

Answer 1

the easiest might be to create a new image based on the original, then swap out the original with the larger copy. For that, a tk image has a copy method which lets you zoom or subsample the original image when making the copy. Unfortunately it only lets you zoom/subsample in factors of 2.
