Hallöchen! I have to extract the dimensions of many bitmap files. An old Bash script did it with ImageMagick's "display -ping ...". "-ping" means that it extracts the image dimensions efficiently. I suspect it simply doesn't read the image itself.
Now the Bash script has been transformed into Python+PIL. Is there a way to get the dimensions equally efficient here, or does the PIL even do this optimisation implicitly since I never access the image bitmap itself? ceter Thank you!
