convert("L") is a good way to make images grayscale. An option to using
getdata() is to try numpy's array:
pixelarray = numpy.array(img)
this gives lots of possibilities for working with the images numerically,
like for PCA. (see example code in the link below)

I wrote a short script for doing PCA on images using python, with some
explanations and example code

Could be of help to you guys.
