This is a question I'm also interested in, but have no good answer for. I
don't see a way of doing it with PIL (unless I overlooked something) but
maybe Numeric Python might do something. I was thinking on converting the
image (whether its 10-bit, 12-bit, of 16-bit) to a floating pt. array,
doing your processing, and converting back to the right format.  Haven't
tried it yet so can't say whether its even possible.
