How to Change Background of WMF Images and Photos with Python

Often, while editing an image in WMF, the necessity arises to change its background. The initial step involves selecting foreground objects within the photo and distinguishing them from the rest of the image to isolate the areas attributed to the background. When the background constitutes a uniform area, object contours can be automatically established. However, if the photo exhibits an irregular background or complications arise in distinguishing the desired object from the backdrop, employing the preliminary image marking method is advisable. This entails selecting rectangular areas within the photo where anticipated objects are positioned and specifying their type. Such actions can be manually executed or facilitated through the Cloud API for automated object detection. Following the selection of objects and the removal of the original background, you have the option to introduce a new background or render it transparent. To modify the background of an image in WMF format, we will utilize Aspose.Imaging for Python via .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Python platform. You may install it using the following command from your system command.

The system command line

>> pip install aspose-imaging-python-net

  • About Aspose.Imaging for Python API

    Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.

    WMF What is WMF File Format

    Files with WMF extension represent Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF) for storing vector as well as bitmap-format images data. To be more accurate, WMF belongs to the vector file format category of Graphics file formats that is device independent. Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) uses the functions stored in a WMF file to display an image on the screen. A more enhanced version of WMF, known as Enhanced Meta Files (EMF), was published later that makes the format more feature rich. Practically, WMF are similar to SVG.
