How can I assign pixel values of an image to an array in Python

Question

I want to import an image and the store all the pixel values in an array. How can I do this ?

This is what I have tried already but the array is wrong.

from PIL import Image
im = Image.open('red-flower.jpg', 'r')
pix_val = list(im.getdata())

You have the parameters wrong for Image.open():

import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

im = Image.open('red-flower.jpg')
array = np.array(im)
