Dan,
My point was also, that I would doubt that there is physically(!) more
information than 16e6 possible values per pixel.
A digital gray scale CCD camera with more than 12 bits costs multiple
1000s of Euros or Dollars...
Maybe you could use imagemagick to convert 1 16bit RGB into 3 16bit
gray images and read those into PIL.
Can I ask what your overall intend with all of this is ?
Cheers,
Sebastian
