how to open image as rgb file when using imageio

Question

I have an existing code segment reading image using scipy.misc

imref = misc.imread(self.file_image, False, "RGB")

If I would like to replace it with imageio, how to do that, can I just use

imref = imageio.imread(self.file_image, False).

I am not clear where to setup the "RGB" parameter while using imageio.imread.

As explained in the docs you can use the keyword argument pilmode to specify the modality, while scipy flatten is replaced by as_gray. So in your case:

imref = imageio.imread(self.file_image, as_gray=False, pilmode="RGB")

What if you get the error: "Imageio Pillow plugin requires Pillow lib"?
