Python PIL | logical_xor() and invert() method

PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. The ImageChops module contains a number of arithmetical image operations, called channel operations (“chops”). These can be used for various purposes, including special effects, image compositions, algorithmic painting, and more.

PIL.ImageChops.logical_xor() method applies Logical XOR between two images. At least one of the images must have mode “1”.

Image 1:

Image2:

Syntax: PIL.ImageChops.logical_xor(image1, image2)

Parameters:
image1: first image
image2: second image

Return Type: Image

# Importing Image and ImageChops module from PIL package
from PIL import Image, ImageChops

# creating a image1 object
im1 = Image.open(r"C:\Users\sadow984\Desktop\a2.PNG") .convert("1")

# creating a image2 object
im2 = Image.open(r"C:\Users\sadow984\Desktop\x5.PNG") .convert("1")

# applying logical_xor method
im3 = ImageChops.logical_xor(im1, im2)

im3.show()

Output:

PIL.ImageChops.invert() method invert an image (channel).

Syntax: PIL.ImageChops.invert(image)

Parameters:
image1: image

Return Type: Image

# Importing Image and ImageChops module from PIL package
from PIL import Image, ImageChops

# creating a image1 object
im1 = Image.open(r"C:\Users\sadow984\Desktop\a2.PNG")

# applying invert method
im3 = ImageChops.invert(im1)

im3.show()

Output:
