To display it using OpenCV, go to your favorite IDE or text editor and create the following Python program:
# Display a color image using OpenCV
import numpy as np
import cv2
# Load an color image in grayscale
img = cv2.imread('1.jpg',1)
cv2.imshow('image',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Save the program into the same directory as 1.jpg.
Run the file.
