[Image-SIG] python PIL 16-bit tiff files

[Dan Blacker]

Yes, it is important for me to have all this extra color information,
although you are unable to see it, it is very useful when color grading
/adjusting levels etc of the scanned film.

But does anyone have any idea how I can get PIL to read my file?

Thanks,
