Details

I would like to convert the large SVS files I have into smaller jpeg files.

I found the following guide on the problem: https://developer.ibm.com/articles/an-automatic-method-to-identify-tissues-from-big-whole-slide-images-pt1/

but the functions called in the guide appear to be deprecated.

I have figured out how to save an individual tile as a jpeg image but now how to save the whole slide image as a smaller jpeg.

Please advise!

Does thumbnail function https://openslide.org/api/python/#openslide.OpenSlide.get_thumbnail and Pillow's image save not work?
