Python imaging alternatives

Question

Answer 1

I've used PIL, and the resample/resize results are TERRIBLE.

Resizing in PIL was broken in many ways and PIL is not maintained for a long time. Starting from Pillow 2.7 most of the problems are fixed along with dramatically performance improvement. Make sure you are using latest Pillow.
