Converting a NumPy array to a PIL image

The RGB mode is expecting 8-bit values, so just casting your array should fix the problem:

In [25]: image = Image.fromarray(pixels.astype('uint8'), 'RGB')
    ...:
    ...: # Print out the pixel values
    ...: print image.getpixel((0, 0))
    ...: print image.getpixel((0, 1))
    ...: print image.getpixel((1, 0))
    ...: print image.getpixel((1, 1))
    ...:
(255, 0, 0)
(0, 0, 255)
(0, 255, 0)
(255, 255, 0)
