Python Image Library Error - Caught Ioerror While Rendering: Not Enough Data

Solution 1:

update

image._getexif is claimed to be highly experimental. Refs sorl-thumbnail and issue #98, you could update the code to be

def_orientation(self, image):
    try:
        exif = image._getexif()
    except (AttributeError, IOError):
        exif = None

It's caused by PIL's attempt to load a corrupted or possibly unsupported TIFF file. Normally when you use forms.ImageField, Django would check the correctness of uploaded images. Thus you need to:

• check the uploaded image by

  from PIL import Image
  Image.open(path).load()
  

• use toolkit that processing TIFF to open the image and, if you can open it , save it to Jpeg or Png and update the field of the model instance to point to the new file.

Also you could limit user to upload normal formats such as jpeg/png/gif instead of TIFF
