SRGB-aware image resize in Pillow

Question

Pillow\'s basic Image.resize function doesn\'t appear to have any options for SRGB-aware filtering. Is there a way to do SRGB-aware resizing in Pillow?

Answer 1

99% of image resize implementations will not get sRGB right (which, unfortunately, is 99.9% of image material), and those who do usually will do it right by default and give you the option to opt out of gamma de/encoding.

IOW, if there is no option you likely have to add the code yourself - or just use pamscale. If a library doesn't get sRGB right it will have other flaws anyway.

You could de/encode yourself as discussed in

but a from quick glance it seems pillow is not capable of doing that trick.
