Python PIL | Image.draft() method

PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. The Image module provides a class with the same name which is used to represent a PIL image. The module also provides a number of factory functions, including functions to load images from files, and to create new images.
Image.draft() Configures the image file loader so it returns a version of the image that as closely as possible matches the given mode and size. For example, you can use this method to convert a color JPEG to grayscale while loading it, or to extract a 128×192 version from a PCD file.

Syntax: Image.draft(mode, size) 
Parameters:
mode – The requested mode. 
size – The requested size.
Returns: An Image object.
Return type: Image 

Image Used:

Python3

# importing image object from PIL
from PIL import Image

# creating an image object
im = Image.open(r"C:\Users\System-Pc\Desktop\rose.jpg")

# print the original image object
print(im)

# using draft function
# convert mode and size as well
im1 = im.draft("L", (im.width // 2, im.height // 2))
im2 = im1.decoderconfig, im1.mode, im.size, im1.tile
print(im1)
print(im2)

# show the converted image
im1.show()

Output1:

PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=217x232 at 0x27A3D65FD68
PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=L size=109x116 at 0x27A3D65FD68
((2, 0), 'L', (109, 116), [('jpeg', (0, 0, 109, 116), 0, ('L', ''))])

Another Example: Here we use another image. 

Image Used:

Python3

# importing image object from PIL
from PIL import Image

# creating an image object
im = Image.open(r"C:\Users\System-Pc\Desktop\tree.jpg")

# print the original image object
print(im)

# using draft function
# convert mode and size as well
im1 = im.draft("L", (im.width // 2, im.height // 2))
im2 = im1.decoderconfig, im1.mode, im.size, im1.tile
print(im1)
print(im2)

# show the converted image
im1.show()

Output1:

PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=259x194 at 0x28A1C2C1CC0
PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=L size=130x97 at 0x28A1C2C1CC0
((2, 0), 'L', (130, 97), [('jpeg', (0, 0, 130, 97), 0, ('L', ''))])
