[Image-SIG] PIL - Tiff problems

[Andrew]

In reality the tif will be ~7 mb, but i was able to use pil to shrink 
the image size. The problem comes with converting to a png.

I open the tif then call

im = im.convert("L")
im = im.convert("P")
im.save("C:\\test\\test2.png","PNG")

To view the tif, I would generally use irfanview.

thanks,
andrew
