Do you mean something like:

from PIL import Image, ImageTk
im = Image.open("image.png")
resized = im.resize((height, width), IMAGE.ANTIALIAS)
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=resized)

does not do the trick, you want to pass the tkinter.PhotoImage object to
PIL.Image.open() ? I don't think this is possible, at least without some
sort of trickery. What is it exactly that you want to achieve?

Regards

Michael
