converting tiff to jpeg in python

by

I have successfully solved the issue. I posted the code to read the tiff files in a folder and convert into jpeg automatically.

import os
from PIL import Image

yourpath = os.getcwd()
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(yourpath, topdown=False):
    for name in files:
        print(os.path.join(root, name))
        if os.path.splitext(os.path.join(root, name))[1].lower() == ".tiff":
            if os.path.isfile(os.path.splitext(os.path.join(root, name))[0] + ".jpg"):
                print "A jpeg file already exists for %s" % name
            # If a jpeg is *NOT* present, create one from the tiff.
            else:
                outfile = os.path.splitext(os.path.join(root, name))[0] + ".jpg"
                try:
                    im = Image.open(os.path.join(root, name))
                    print "Generating jpeg for %s" % name
                    im.thumbnail(im.size)
                    im.save(outfile, "JPEG", quality=100)
                except Exception, e:
                    print e
