Older versions of Photoshop generated broken CMYK files, and PIL
attempts to compensate for this.  try commenting out the following lines
in PIL/JpegImagePlugin.py, and let me know if it helps:

                    if self.mode == "CMYK" and self.info.has_key("adobe"):
                        rawmode = "CMYK;I" # Photoshop 2.5 is broken!
