Thanks, Waldemar. pytiff sounds interesting though I am worried it doesn't appear to be under active development.

That sounds like an interesting possible future avenue; I've heard ctypes is great to work with though I don't know much about it or Ghostscript. I guess we will stick with calling the convert command for now but I will keep this idea in mind. _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
