=====================================================
Convert a 3-color image (JPG) to separate FITS images
=====================================================

This example opens an RGB JPEG image and writes out each channel as a separate
FITS (image) file.

This example uses `pillow <https://python-pillow.org>`_ to read the image,
`matplotlib.pyplot` to display the image, and `astropy.io.fits` to save FITS files.

are flattened, so they are 1-dimensional:
