umm.  tostring and save are two entirely different things; tostring passes 
the
pixels to a low-level encoder, save writes an entire image to a file (use 
the
StringIO module if you want to save an image to a string).

the keywords you can use with save() has no direct mapping to the low-
level encoder parameters you can use with tostring().

the 64k limitation for very wide uncompressed images ("raw") has been
removed in 1.1.6.
