Tkinter & Canvas

[Pedroski55]

Not an answer, but a problem:

I was interested, so I set:

img = '/home/pedro/Pictures/aphrodite.jpg'

Trying out the code, I am getting:

Main().mainloop()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/idlelib/run.py", line 578, in runcode
exec(code, self.locals)
File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in <module>
File "<pyshell#8>", line 6, in __init__
File "<pyshell#17>", line 6, in __init__
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 4103, in __init__
Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw)
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 4048, in __init__
self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "/home/pedro/Pictures/aphrodite.jpg"

Maybe 1 image could be corrupt, so I tried 2 other images, no joy!

This works:

from PIL import Image
im = Image.open(img)
im.show()

Any ideas what may be the problem?

bg = tk.PhotoImage(file=img)
