Getting error "Could not import PIL.Image. The use of `array_to_img` requires PIL."

I am a beginner to machine learning, so I was trying to create a model for recognizing images referenced from Keras blog. I have installed Anaconda 3 on windows 10 and all the packages like tensorflow, keras, scipy, numpy, pandas 

from keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator, array_to_img, img_to_array, load_img
    from keras.models import Sequential
    from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D
    from keras.layers import Activation, Dropout, Flatten, Dense

    datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
    rotation_range=40,
    width_shift_range=0.2,
    height_shift_range=0.2,
    shear_range=0.2,
    zoom_range=0.2,
    horizontal_flip=True,
    fill_mode='nearest')
    img = load_img('E:/ML_R&D/training_set/cats/cat.3919.jpg') # this Line is giving me error

I am using conda command and pillow using pip, but when I run a code taken from keras blog I got the error.

Step 1: Firstly make sure that the PIL is uninstalled as PIL and pillow cannot co-exist. For this open Anaconda Powershell Prompt and type pip uninstall pillow Then press y(yes) when asked. If you do not have pillow or PIL then proceed to step 2

Step 2: In the same powershell prompt, execute pip install pillow

Step 3: After the installation, close the jupyter notebook, anaconda, and restart your system.

Step 4: Now execute from keras.preprocessing.image import load_image . IT WILL WORK !!!

the issue is solved, may be the problem was that I did not restarted my system after adding all the libraries. This issue can be closed.

You didn't import the library. Use "import PIL"

You will want to install the PIL package.

How do I install PIL/Pillow for Python 3.6?

pip install pillow

or

pip3 install pillow
