scipy imread has been deprecated since v1.0.0.

It might be worth considering to mantain/update the code for removed dependecies

I've got this error trying to use stylize.py on windows.

I'm going to try using an earlier version of scipy

Thanks for pointing that out. I unfortunately don't have the time to update the repo right now, but at some point in the next few months I'd like to migrate it to TF 2.0 and will hopefully also clean up other bits like this along the way.

The only TF2 implementation I found didn't work so well, so I tried to make this one work, using Anaconda and python v3.8, a custom environment to install all these old package versions. The right combination is tensorflow 1.2.1 with keras 2.0.0... and the changes below.

You can easily replace scipy.misc.imread and scipy.misc.imresize in the code (mainly sytlize.py and utils.py, I didn't try the camera thing).

Here are the BEFORE and AFTER functions

for deprecated scipy.misc.imread:

import imageio
(...)
#BEFORE img = scipy.misc.imread(src, mode='RGB')
img = imageio.imread(src, as_gray=False, pilmode='RGB')

You'll also have problems with the deprecated image resize function from scipy.misc !

from skimage import transform
(...)
#BEFORE style_img_resized = scipy.misc.imresize(style_img, (stylized_rgb.shape[0], stylized_rgb.shape[0]))
style_img_resized = transform.resize(style_img, (stylized_rgb.shape[0], stylized_rgb.shape[0]), anti_aliasing=True)

Made me search a little as I don't program in python, you'll have a lot of deprecation warnings when using the scripts, but it works :)

The only thing that didn't work with the image resize function is when you're trying to use the --ss-stride command-line option. Must be something like a conversion between integers and floats that I don't understand...
