Tif output by Blender not read by PIL or OpenCV

Coding Python Support

Hi

For some reason neither Python Image Library nor OpenCV are able to open tif images
written by Blender 2.61. I havnt tried it under other versions though.
The files open fine in Matlab, MSPaint, Gimp, Photoshop.

I have found the file tiff.c in Blender 2.62 source which defines the use of Deflate compression and I changed it
I.e.

TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION, COMPRESSION_DEFLATE);

to

TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION, COMPRESSION_PACKBITS);

and then recompiled.

This now works for both OpenCV and PIL.
