Well, darn. It would have been nice to have a neat image just come right out of PIL for me.<\/p>\n

To continue from last post’s experiment<\/a> – where I converted an existing picture to a string – I’m wondering what happens if I convert an image to a string and back again. Will it be the same as before?<\/p>\n

Answer: Yes, it will be the same before, but only if the same dimensions are used. Otherwise, everything goes crazy, as might be expected.<\/p>\n

Here, I am using this image, and converting is from a 1280 x 960px RGB picture to one that is 960 x 1280px RGB.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Original – 1280 x 960px RGB<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

960 x 1280px RGB<\/p><\/div>\n

The result is pretty weird. The photograph gets horizontally collapsed into thirds and is repeated in each one of those thirds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

800 x 600px RGB<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Refinery – 800×600 – CMYK<\/p><\/div>\n

The last one is the same, but with a different color model – CMYK as opposed to RGB. The streetlights look almost floral.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Refinery – 600×400 – RGB<\/p><\/div>\n

You get the idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
