hmm... Not sure what you mean by this. WHen I try it:

Python 2.2.3+ (#1, Feb 25 2004, 23:29:31)
[GCC 3.3.3 (Debian)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Image
>>> im = Image.open('title.png')
>>> im2 = im.copy()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 630, in copy
    self.load()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 192, in load
    raise IOError(error + " when reading image file")
IOError: unknown error when reading image file


The file still exists, permissions seem to be okay...


interesting huh?

I probably should have mentioned earlier that this script is running on a lean 
server - imagemagick and other utilities I might be able to use aren't 
available..


Thanks for the help, I'll see if anyone has any thoughts on this subject over 
the next week or so...
