There was a problem hiding this comment.
Right, so:
Image.open(path) # tries all, default formats=None
Image.open(path, formats=None) # tries all
Image.open(path, formats=["JPEG"]) # only tries JPEG
Image.open(path, formats=["!EPS"]) # tries all but EPS
Image.open(path, formats=["EPS", "!EPS"]) # tries all but EPS
Image.open(path, formats=["JPEG", "!EPS"]) # only tries JPEG, !EPS has no effectThat last one could be surprising, but it's probably okay.
