Answer 1

For me it worked when i just changed jpeg to jpg

Try this, may be it will work

import numpy as np
import cv2
img=cv2.imread('C:\Users\Pravin\Desktop\a.jpg',1)    #changed image format to jpg
cv2.namedWindow('img',cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)
cv2.Waitkey(10000)
cv2.imshow('cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL',img)
cv2.destoryAllWindows()
