You should use PIL to read such complicated image formats and pass them as understandable objects to tkinter:

from PIL import Image, ImageTk
...
my_image = Image.open("flame2.jpg")
filename= ImageTk.PhotoImage(my_image)
...
panel = Label(top, image=filename)

my_image = Image.open("flame2.jpg") AttributeError: type object 'Image' has no attribute 'open' After compiling the code you sent, this is the error occured.

Try import PIL.Image instead of from PIL import Image
