title: tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file
body: <p>I'm currently in the middle of a recorded Python lecture and I think the version of python the teacher is using is outdated and he is writing a tkinter program but after copying it I keep getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Users\1234\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lecture Class 11.py", line 35, in &lt;module&gt;

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from tkinter import *
  
  class Application(Frame):
      def __init__(self, master):
          super(Application, self).__init__(master)
          self.grid()
          self.button_clicks = 0
          self.create_widgets()
  
      def create_widgets(self):
          self.label1 = Label(self)
          label1.image = photo
          label1.grid()
          self.button1 = Button(self)
          self.button1["text"] = "Click me!!!"
          self.button1["command"] = self.update_count
          self.button1.grid(row=1, column=1)
          self.button2 = Button(self)
          self.button2["text"] = "Reset click counter"
          self.button2["command"] = self.reset_count
          self.button.grid(row=3, column= 1)
  
      def update_count(self):
          self.button_clicks += 1
          self.button1["text"] = "Total clicks: " + str(self.button_clicks)
  
      def res_count(self):
          self.button_clicks = 0
          self.button["text"] = "I am reset. Click me!!!"
  
  root = Tk()
  root.title("CP101 click counter")
  root.geometry("400x400")
  
  photo = PhotoImage(file="Me With My 5th Place.jpg")
  
  app = Application(root)
  
  root.mainloop()
