I am not sure of why this is happening but I am not able to load image using imread(). I am able to open that image in paint and after saving that image, the image is being loaded and displayed. I am using Jupyter notebook.

```
import os
import cv2
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

def displayImage(image):
 plt.imshow(image)
 plt.show()

image = cv2.imread('path/to/image')
displayImage(image)

```

Output
