Pillow ImageFilter

Apply different type of filters to the Image by un-commenting respective lines

from PIL import Image, ImageFilter

path = "E:\\testing\\images\\cat-filter.jpeg"# Source
path2 = "E:\\testing\\images\\cat-blur.jpeg"  # new image 
img = Image.open(path, mode="r")
#img.show()
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.BoxBlur(radius=10))
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(radius=10))
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.UnsharpMask(radius=10))
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.Kernel(size=(3,3),kernel=[2,4])) # not workign 
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.CONTOUR)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.DETAIL)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.EDGE_ENHANCE)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.EDGE_ENHANCE_MORE)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.EMBOSS)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.FIND_EDGES)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.SMOOTH)
#img = img.filter(ImageFilter.SMOOTH_MORE)
img = img.filter(ImageFilter.SHARPEN)
img.show()
img.save(path2)

Here are some sample images after using filters.

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)

BoxBlur

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.BoxBlur(radius=10))

GussianBlur

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.GussianBlur(radius=10))

UnsharpMask

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.UnsharpMask(radius=10))

CONTOUR

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.CONTOUR)

DETAIL

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.DETAIL)

EDGE_ENHANCE

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.EDGE_ENHANCE)

EDGE_ENHANCE_MORE

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.EDGE_ENHANCE_MORE)

EMBOSS

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.EMBOSS)

FIND_EDGES

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.FIND_EDGES)

SMOOTH

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.SMOOTH)

SMOOTH_MORE

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.SMOOTH_MORE)

SHARPEN

img = img.filter(ImageFilter.SHARPEN)
