💡 Applying Image Filters with Pillow

Pillow's ImageFilter module provides a set of pre-defined filters you can apply to your images with a single line of code. This example demonstrates how to apply a Gaussian blur effect, which is useful for softening images or creating depth-of-field effects.

from PIL import Image, ImageFilter

try:
    # Open an existing image
    with Image.open("your_image.jpg") as img:
        # Apply the Gaussian Blur filter
        # The radius parameter controls the blur intensity
        blurred_img = img.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(radius=5))

        # Display the blurred image
        blurred_img.show()

        # Save the new image
        blurred_img.save("blurred_image.png")

except FileNotFoundError:
    print("Error: 'your_image.jpg' not found. Please provide an image.")

Code explanation: The script opens an image file, applies a GaussianBlur filter from the ImageFilter module using the .filter() method, and then displays and saves the resulting blurred image. The blur intensity is controlled by the radius argument.
