[Image-SIG] how can I open 32 float tiff with PIL?

[Dale Cieslak]

I had something similar.  It all depends on whether the particular type of TIFF is supported by the TiffImagePlugin.py module.  If you have a type of TIFF that doesn't match one of the types it supports, you're out of luck.  You can try to convert the TIFF to a different format or try to patch the TiffImagePlugin.py module, which isn't trivial since you mentioned being new to Python.  

Best of luck,
Dale
