storing a PILLOW image in same name after editing

Question

I want to crop a set of Pillow images and save it with the same name in the same folder, from where it is opened. It is clustered and stored into 4 groups.

I wrote the code as below.

for c in range(4):
    for image_file in glob.glob(f"plot_images/{c}/*.jpg"):
        im=Image.open(image_file)
        im = im.convert("RGB")
        im = im.crop(offset)
        im.save(im.filename)

It gives me the error

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-24-9f3d3a38e4e4> in <module>
     15         im = im.crop(offset)
     16         #im.show()
---> 17         im.save(im.filename)
     18         #print(c,end='r')
     19 

/srv/conda/envs/notebook/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PIL/Image.py in __getattr__(self, name)
    539             )
    540             return self._category
--> 541         raise AttributeError(name)
    542 
    543     @property

AttributeError: filename

I don’t understand why the error comes. please help.

If you check type(im) in different moments then you should see PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile after loading but PIL.Image.Image after converting which don’t have filename. Use image_file instead of im.filename

im.save(image_file)

im = Image.open(image_file)
print(type(im)) # <class 'PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile'>

im = im.convert("RGB")
print(type(im)) # <class 'PIL.Image.Image'>

im = im.crop(offset)    
print(type(im)) # <class 'PIL.Image.Image'>

im.save(image_file)
