Python Imaging Library (PIL)

* there are no modules in the standard library for reading/writing/processing images directly.

import Image

#
Image.open(f)

# Creates a new image with the given mode and size.
Image.new(mode,size,color=None)

# resize
im.resize(size)

# rotate (angle)

# save
im.save(outfile, options…)

# show()
On Windows, it saves the image to a temporary BMP file,
 and uses the standard BMP display utility to show it.
