python pil raw data

[sidious1741]

I have found out how to do everything with pil but read raw data. Before I found out about pil I used a module called png to read png files. I could easily get data like '0,12,234,255'. I don't want to edit an image I just want to read the data for each pixel.

Perhaps what you are looking for is Image.fromstring.
See the PIL handbook (http://www.pythonware.com/library/) for more info.

I don't think so. I want the opposite. I have a bmp file that I want to read, not data that I want to save as a bmp file.

If you have a bmp file, you should be able to load it with


Image.open('file.bmp')

I know that too. I just dont know what to do with the image object.

This is my last try :)

im=Image.open('file.bmp')
print(list(im.convert().getdata()))

Thanks, that worked.
