Hello, I'm trying to convert a RGB image into a grayscaled image
using PIL but pygame keeps throwing this error:
"ValueError: Buffer length does not equal format and resolution size"
Why this code doesn't work, I have no idea :-(
('surf' is a pygame.Surface)
pilimg = Image.fromstring('RGBA', surf.get_size(),
pygame.image.tostring(surf, 'RGBA'))
pilimg = pilimg.convert('L')
pilimg.show()# it's grayscaled
surf_gr = pygame.image.fromstring(pilimg.tostring(), pilimg.size, 'RGBA')
OK, I know the last 'RGBA' probably isn't correct but 'P' isn't either
nor is one of the other
possible modes.
Can someone explain to me how to properly convert a RGB into grayscale, with
or without PIL.
Thanks,
Stas
