I have an application that displays images, using QtGui.QImage
. To save space, I changed the GeoTiff compression from LZW
to JPEG
, but now I get the following error:
foo: JPEG compression support is not configured.
foo: Sorry, requested compression method is not configured.
I have not found anything how I can configure PyQt to understand that type of compression. Do I need a specific build or can I set it somewhere? Using Python 3.10 with PyQt5.15
Thanks to the comment of @musicamante, the issue could be solved simply by using:
from PIL.ImageQt import ImageQt
my_q_image = ImageQt(image_path)
Then, my_q_image
acts exactly like a QImage
.
Important reminder though, which I found while investigating this: PyQt5 support from PIL
ends in July 2023!
