tkInter and Pillow don't display any images in GUIs - program gives errors instead

[Yoriz]

Try using pillow to open the image

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
 
w, h = (864, 576)
 
root = tk.Tk()
 
 
def firstGUI():
    canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=h, width=w)
    canvas.pack()
 
    bg = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("characterwindow01.jpg")) 
    bg_l = tk.Label(root, image=bg)
    bg_l.place()
 
 
firstGUI()
root.mainloop()
