[Image-SIG] Reading a 8bit Tif image from ArcMAP doesnt read well

Many thanks for your email.I want to read values from images in
grayscale or rgb, because the product that is coming from Arcmap could
be either.

The issue is that using PIL I get pixel values in the greyscale of 127
or rgb(0,0,0), where really I could see in Gimp that these pixels have
a different value. Looks like PIL can decode part of the picture and
another part of the picture not.

Also I tried today to read the pixel values of the picture using
temp=np.array(im) but still I got  some cells with a value of 127
where really the image has different values.

The only way to decode the picture was using freeImagepy, opening the
image with freeImagepy, saving and then open again with PIL to get the
values. It works but not in the way that supose to be. I want to do
all with PIL :-)
 (Attached is the code)

Many thanks

German

    from PIL import Image
    from PIL import TiffImagePlugin
    import numpy as np
    import sys
    import FreeImagePy
    FIPY = FreeImagePy.freeimage()
    image = FIPY.genericLoader(file_tif)
    FIPY.Save(FreeImagePy.FIF_TIFF, image, "temp.tif")

   im = Image.open("temp.tif")
   values=np.zeros((size_y,size_x))
   mode=im.mode
   temp=list(im.getdata())
   cont=-1
   list_colors=[]
   for i in range(0,size_y):
       for j in range(0,size_x):
           cont+=1
           if mode=="RGB":
               color=temp[cont]
               print cont,temp[cont]
               if color in list_colors:
                   index=list_colors.index(color)
                   values[i][j]=index+1
               else:
                   list_colors.append(color)
                   values[i][j]=len(list_colors)
           else:
               values[i][j]=temp[cont]
