loading png from json file using PIL

I am trying to use PIL.Image.open to open the image from an opened json file. Should I just put the name of the png file inside the Image.open() or is it the directory that leads to the json file?

Thanks

  • Here is a full example which is probably what you're looking for:

    
    import json
    from PIL import Image
    
    with open('yourfilename.txt', 'r') as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    
        # Load the file path from  the json
        imgpath = data['yourkey']
        
        # Place the image path into the open method
        img = Image.open(imgpath)

    The imgpath variable should return a string of the path to your image.
