[Image-SIG] problem with TIF image in PIL

[FiverChinook]

I'm having a problem with opening a TIF image in PIL, rotating it, and then
converting it to a string for use somewhere else. This is the Python code:
 
im1 = open("c:\image.TIF")
im2 = im1.transpose(ROTATE_90)
im3 = im2.tostring("raw", "RGB", 0, -1)
 
When I display the rotated image using the PIL show() function (immediately
after the rotation is applied) it looks OK. However, when I convert the
image to a string and display it elsewhere, it appears diagonally warped,
although the colors are OK. If I do not rotate the image, then it looks OK
after the "tostring" conversion. So, it seems that the
"transpose(ROTATE_90)" function is doing something to the image that is not
evident until it is converted to a string... I'm completely baffled. 

FYI - I've checked the mode of the image after opening it and it is "RGB"
 
Thanks for the help!!
