ImportError with scipy.misc cannot import toimage

Question

I tried making some Perlin noise but with from scipy.misc import toimage

I get an ImportError:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Perlintest.py", line 3, in <module> from scipy.misc import toimage ImportError: cannot import name 'toimage' from 'scipy.misc' (C:\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python38\site-packages\scipy\misc\__init__.py)

Answer 1

scipy.misc.toimage is removed since version 1.2, link to documentation . As the documentation suggests.

Use Pillow's Image.fromarray directly instead

It's somewhat confusing if you're a new user. So, explaining a bit. It expects you already have Pillow installed. If not first pip install numpy scipy first and then pip install Pillow .

Example code from the official Pillow Image.fromarray documentation

from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
im = Image.open('image.jpg')
a = np.asarray(im)
im = Image.fromarray(a)

Otherwise, use an older version of scipy .

For any above I recommend generating requirements.txt or if you use conda then env.yml for your project dependencies and future use of your project without their versioning and import errors.

Answer 2

you can try the below

from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

img = Image.open('name.jpg')
plt.imshow(img)

Answer 3

I fixed it by changing

from scipy.misc import toimage

to:

from scipy.misc.pilutil import toimage
