title: Convert tiff (I;16) to JPG with PIL/pillow
body: <p>I have a problem converting a tiff image from a microscope to a jpeg, which should be shown within a web application.
  I tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>image = Image.open(file_name)
  image.convert(mode="RGB")
  image.save('my.jpeg')
  
  &gt;&gt;IOError: cannot write mode I;16 as JPEG
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anybody has some experience in converting 16-bit TIFF files to jpegs...
  I have linked such a file below.
  Thanks for your help!</p>
