I had something similar. It all depends on whether the particular type of TIFF is supported by the TiffImagePlugin.py module. If you have a type of TIFF that doesn't match one of the types it supports, you're out of luck. You can try to convert the TIFF to a different format or try to patch the TiffImagePlugin.py module, which isn't trivial since you mentioned being new to Python.
Best of luck,
Dale
