How to Resolve These Errors

To resolve these errors, ensure you are using the functions correctly and not confusing their intended purposes.

For load_img

If you need to load an image from a file path, make sure to use load_img() correctly:

If your data is already a NumPy array, there is no need to call load_img() on it.

For img_to_array

To convert an image loaded via PIL to a NumPy array, use img_to_array() properly:

Conclusion

Understanding the appropriate use of load_img() and img_to_array() can help avoid these common AttributeErrors. Always remember that load_img() is for loading images from file paths, and img_to_array() is for converting PIL Image instances to NumPy arrays. Correct usage will ensure your code runs smoothly and efficiently.
