problem saving tif files with PIL

mchl gdbt

Hi,

I have several thousand tiffs generated by application A which are read by
application B. I need to remove a few colours from the tiffs and I decided
to try with the python imaging library.

Running under debug mode permits saving my tiff files (with Image.DEBUG=0,
the save doesn't work! see below) , but it truncates the crazy tags in my
tiff and changes the resolution of the image

I realized the resolution had changed when app B spit out garbage and
checked in GIMP which confirmed that the resolution had been changed. The
number of pixels is the same. it went from 96x96ppi as 11.771 x 9.771 to
72 x 72ppi at 15.694 x 13.028, so # of pixels 1130 x 938

Ideally, I want the output image to be identical to the original in every
way. I suspect that it might be enough to just change the size numbers
though I don't know how. I will be messing around with the pixel colours
eventually but the structure of the image must remain basically identical so
that application B works as before.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help,
Michael

This the screen output from my idle run.
1) open image
2) save image (doesn't work)
3) debug = 1
4) open image
5) save image (works) fewer tags it seems
6) reload saved image, fewer tags, different resolution, though this is not
apparent within python

im = Image.open(r"c:\image1.tif")

im.save("C:\\test.tif") Traceback (most recent call last):
