Thanks. I have read that page, among many others, during my research. It deals with an actual image file. I am dealing with an image that is not a file. It was redirected to stdout from another process and was never saved to the hard drive. Anyway, with Mr. Otten's help the problem is resolved. -- <Wildman> GNU/Linux user #557453 "Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it's wrong." -Ron Paul -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
