did you install Pillow?

Requirement already satisfied: Pillow in c:\python\python38\lib\site-packages (7.0.0)

it's Pillow, with capital P
using pip:
pip install Pillow

OK, it's now installed and you should be able to import it (in your code in Pycharm or other IDE).
If you have multiple python installations, make sure that the correct one is set as interpreter in pycharm settings

Pillow is already installed for you python3.8 installation at c:\python\python38\

Now you should be able to do in Pycharm:

import PIL
from PIL import Image, ImageTK
given that python3.8 (c:\python\python38\) is set as default interpreter for the project
Note that Pillow is friendly fork of PIL and replaced it long time ago.

import PIL
from PIL import Image, ImageTK

and setup the interpreter for the project to be python3.8 with Pillow installed
