  1. It is a bug 1825832.

    Please login to launchpad and click "This bug affects you and 1 other person" to confirm that this bug affects you.

    The solution from proposed patch is simple - use PIL instead of Image.
    We can apply the patch programmatically without installing other stuff:

    sudo sed -i "s/^import Image/from PIL import Image/" /usr/bin/simple-image-reducer

  2. 1) make sure it is available

    python -m pip install  Image

    2) where is it available?

    sudo find ~ -name image -type d

    -->> directory /home/MyHomeDir/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/image ->> OK

    3) Tell simple-image-reducer via link: 

    ln -s ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/image ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Image

    4) invoke simple-image-reducer again.

    Works:-)
