Fredrik, thanks for the reply. I am in fact converting to "RGB"
first... at least I think so. Here's the code I'm using that produces
bad results:
from PIL import Image
# io is a file handle
pil_image = Image.open(io)
# convert to rgb
pil_image = pil_image.convert('RGB')
# new_width/new_height are calculated to retain the
# current height/width proportions
new_size = (new_width, new_height)
#resize the image
pil_image = pil_image.resize(new_size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
# save the image back to disk
pil_image.save(io, 'GIF')
