Answer 1

Your import appears to be the problem. Use this instead of "import Image":

from PIL import Image

Then go on like so:

image = Image.open('/example/path/to/image/file.jpg/')
image.thumbnail((80, 80), Image.ANTIALIAS)
image.save('/some/path/thumb.jpg', 'JPEG', quality=88)

Answer 2

To whom it may be of use: Just found that on the official Pillow website. You probably used Pillow and not PIL.

Warning

Pillow >= 1.0 no longer supports “import Image”. Please use “from PIL import Image” instead.
