Saving image in python
Question: I'm new to python. What I want to do is to read in an image, convert it to
gray value and save it.

This is what I have so far:

    
    
    # construct the argument parser and parse the arguments
    ap = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    ap.add_argument("-i", "--image", required=True, help="Path to the image")
    args = vars(ap.parse_args())
    
    #Greyvalue image
    im = Image.open(args["image"])
    im_grey = im.convert('LA') # convert to grayscale
    

Now my problem is how to save it. As far as I unterstood there are a lot of
different modules (Using python 2.7) Could someone give my an example?

Thanks


Answer: **Method 1: save method**

    
    
    im_grey.save('greyscale.png')
    

Use Image_object.save() method

**Method 2: imsave method**

    
    
    import matplotlib.image as mpimg
    mpimg.imsave("greyscale.png", im_grey)
