One idea maybe : from a lot of tests done by different people, which 
I confirm based on my own tests, it seems that PIL is of lower 
quality compared to ImageMagick, as far as file format conversions 
are concerned, at least to/from jpeg. 

Unfortunately Python's ImageMagick support lacked for a long time 
(not maintained), but I seem to remember that a new project was 
launched some time ago (or was it the same re-launched ?) 

Maybe using ImageMagick instead of PIL when possible or when
better quality is needed would be a solution.
