I know that we can convert RGB image to greyscale by using PIL
or PILLOW
. We can do this by importing Image
. One way that can be used to do this is as follows.
from PIL import Image
img=Image.open('Sample.jpg').convert('LA')
img.save('greyscale.png')
Can we convert RGB image to greyscale without using a python package? I wan to learn that way. Any help, how can I do this?
if you look a data from a RGB image with Pillow you will get a turple with 3 values, or 4 if you read in RGBA mode. In grayscale (L) you have only 1 value. With Python you have so many libs to convert a RGB to L, and they have different ways/methods. To convert RGB to L you need make the sum of RGB and have manys formulas like
(max(R, G, B) + min(R, G, B)) / 2 #lightness method
(R + G + B) / 3 # average method
0.21 R + 0.72 G + 0.07 B # luminosity method
but to create a image without a lib I don't know, because I create a method to draw a image using Pillow
