This is a good news!

Why use PIL for it and not FIPY directly? You can use the image.size or 
the other methods for resize the image

No, it not invert the image... It only return the image as is.

If you are have a min-is-white image (fax ?) that isn't the standard,
you will have an "inverted" image, because PIl expect a min-is-black
image!

Just a question, why "thumbs.sort" ? Inside this list you have only
images!

P.s. you can use also fi.currentPage = 0 rather then
fi.setCurrentPage(0). Is think it look like better :)
