[Image-SIG] PIL: TIFF images loaded as 16 bit signed integers

[Chris Mitchell]

My platform is windows 7 64bit, and when I do this:

import Image
im = Image.open(file)
print im.getpixel((168,78)) #pixel intensity is 65535, gives -1 as value
print im.getpixel((169,78)) #pixel intensity is 64453, gives -1083 as value.
