Image.Image() isn't the way to get a new image object in PIL. Try
Image.new(), which needs at least mode and size arguments. You can get 
those from your original image...

>>> from PIL import Image
(skip me loading an image into im)
>>> im
<PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile instance at 0x00A8A170>
>>> im.mode
'RGB'
>>> im.size
(510, 800)
>>> im2=Image.new(im.mode,im.size)
>>> seq=im.getdata()
>>> im2.putdata(seq)

Then do im2.show() and everything should be ok.
