[Image-SIG] TIFF photometric imterpretation

[D. Alan Stewart]

I've had to perform a simple fix on TiffImagePlugin.py at my site: I supplied a 
default value for the PHOTOMETRIC_INTERPRETATION tag.


#       photo = self.tag.getscalar(PHOTOMETRIC_INTERPRETATION)
#       The Aldus TIFF specification says that a photometric intepretation tag
#       is required, but still some TIFF files do not have it! Supplying a
#       default, even though the TIFF specification does not assign one, allows
#       opening slightly illegal TIFF images. - DAS 2001-12-19

        photo = self.tag.getscalar(PHOTOMETRIC_INTERPRETATION, 0)

I'm using PIL 1.1.2.
