Hi!
What is "Image" in "import Image" ?

@YustasDev it appears to be pillow. I would recommend replacing that line with:

try:
    from PIL import Image
except ImportError:
    import Image

I found this project looking for white balancing algorithms, but it looks like this needs a touch of work. I also recommend shifting from:

def from_pil(pimg):
    pimg = pimg.convert(mode='RGB')
    nimg = np.asarray(pimg)
    nimg.flags.writeable = True
    return nimg

to:

def from_pil(pimg):
    pimg = pimg.convert(mode='RGB')
    nimg = np.asarray(pimg)
    nimg2 = np.dstack((nimg[:,:,0],nimg[:,:,1],nimg[:,:,2])) # hacky!
    nimg2.setflags(write=True)
    return nimg2

though I'm not sure if this project is capable of working with anything outside of 8b as it stands.
