Quantitatively check the quality of a compressed image by calculating the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) between two images. More info at https://code.adonline.id.au/peak-signal-to-noise-ratio-python/

Hi! Thanks for the code for help! But I am getting this error

usage: ipykernel_launcher.py [-h] -o ORIGINAL -c COPY
ipykernel_launcher.py: error: the following arguments are required: -o/--original, -c/--copy
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.
