I'm trying to rotate an image in Python using PIL and having the expand argument to true. It seems that when the background of my image is black, the resulting image saved as a bmp will be a lot smaller than if I have a white background for my image, and then I replace the black due to expand with white. In either case, my original image is always of two colors, and right now i need the file size to be small, since I'm putting these images on an embedded device.
Any ideas if i can force rotate to fill in another color when expanding or if there is another way to rotate my picture in order to make it small?

If your original image has no alpha layer, you can use an alpha layer as a mask to convert the background to white. When rotate creates the "background", it makes it fully transparent.
# original image
img = Image.open('test.png')
# converted to have an alpha layer
im2 = img.convert('RGBA')
# rotated image
rot = im2.rotate(22.2, expand=1)
# a white image same size as rotated image
fff = Image.new('RGBA', rot.size, (255,)*4)
# create a composite image using the alpha layer of rot as a mask
out = Image.composite(rot, fff, rot)
# save your work (converting back to mode='1' or whatever..)
out.convert(img.mode).save('test2.bmp')
