Hello, First, AFAIK, there is no endianess support in PIL. But if there is, please tell me and forget about this mail.
The problem in dealing with >8bits per channel images is the endianess become important. However, there is, for now, no way of knowing the endianess (unless you know a way specific to the format, as in the TIFF tags). So I propose to add a "byteorder" attribute (similar to the NumPy one) with the following values : '|' for "doesn't matter" (i.e. 8 bits per channel or less), '>' for "big endian" and '<' for "little endian". These values are taken from the NumPy lib. I don't know PIL enough to propose a patch or anything, but this would be, IMHO, a useful and quite easy addition to PIL.
