The following code

```julia
using Images
Img = load("Img.png")

```

produces the following error

```julia
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching save(::Base64.Base64EncodePipe, ::Array{RGBA{Float32},2}, ::Pair{Symbol,ImageShow.var"#14#16"})

```

What should I do?

I think you need `using FileIO` too, [Getting started · JuliaImages](https://juliaimages.org/stable/install/#Loading-your-first-image-1)

Thanks @jling!

To run that example in the documentation I also had to add the `ImageMagick` package. But after installing it, my own image worked too.
