[Image-SIG] How to open "raw" images using PIL?

[Alec Bennett]

I have some "raw" images shot from a Canon DSLR that I'd like to manipulate
using the PIL. I know I can convert them using another program, but if
possible I'd like to do so directly using PIL.

Is this possible with the PIL?

Currently I get something like:

f = "IMG_0025.CR2"
im = Image.open(f)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/test.py", line 7, in ?
    im = Image.open(f, mode = "r")
  File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1916, in open
    raise IOError("cannot identify image file")
IOError: cannot identify image file
