Course Overview
Learn how to edit images programmatically
Pillow is a free and open source library for the Python programming language that allows you to easily create and manipulate images.
In this course, we'll take a hands-on approach to learning the library with several projects:
- A command line application to convert image file types
- A tool to detect the edges of an object to crop around it
- Resizing and adding logos and watermarks dynamically to a source image
- Removing solid backgrounds similar to the Chroma key effect
All of the source code is included with the course, so you can learn by coding along, watching the videos, or refactoring the code to meet your needs.
If you're looking to automate your image editing workflow, expand your knowledge of Python, or are seeking your next creative project, this course is a must for you.

energic and positive attitude. I was able to catch the basic and conclude that next I'll need to improve my logic for functions. Thank you

Well thought out and very clear. I learned some things but it's a bit light on content. Well worth your time if you want to learn about getting started with image manipulation and processing.
