Converting a Tkinter Canvas item to a format that Picture functions understand

I was wondering how I can take what is on the Canvas (from Tkinter), and convert it into a picture so that it is the correct format for Picture functions.

Presumably, you'll be needing the Python Image Library installed.

My problem is that I can't seem to figure out what code will make the Tkinter Canvas into PIL format. I definitely have PIL, as I've used it countless times.

I myself use PIL for drawing shapes and then put the PIL image to Tkinter label =)

But what if you want to be able to draw on the canvas?
I want to draw on it, then after, put it through functions that manipulate it using PIL..
