Yes, I can reproduce this using your example. Seems to happen only to
images larger than real screen estate and looks like some kind of
"palettization" (is that even a word?) error. But I think it's only a
problem of ImageWin, not PIL in general. If you want to simply display
the image, maybe im.show() is an option which will use the default image
viewer of the OS?

Hi,
I'm getting some weird colour artifacts when I open larger images with
PIL. Can't seem to find anything relevant in the archives.
The code to replicate is pretty simple so I should just post that.
#begin code block
from PIL import Image, ImageWin
filename = "Sumida_river05s3200.jpg"
#http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Sumida_river05s3200.jpg
im = Image.open(filename)
im.load()
print im.mode
w = ImageWin.ImageWindow(im)
w.mainloop()
#end code block
The image is about 1.7 megabytes.
I'm using PIL 1.1.6 with Python 2.5 on WindowsXP.
If I shrink the image to half size in the GIMP, the colour distortion
decreases. Shrink the original to a quarter size and the artifacts
disappear. I thought this might be associated with CMYK problems from
the archives, but none of the patches in the list changed the
behavior, although they did fix the CMYK images linked. The image
looks normal with other viewers.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric.
