 From there:

"""
* Added "fromarray" function, which takes an object implementing the 
NumPy array interface and creates a PIL Image from it. (from Travis 
Oliphant).

* Added NumPy array interface support (__array_interface__) to the Image 
class (based on code by Travis Oliphant). This allows you to easily 
convert between PIL image memories and NumPy arrays:
import numpy, Image

i = Image.open('lena.jpg')
a = numpy.asarray(i) # a is readonly
i = Image.fromarray(a)
"""

I hope some of us numpy users will be able to test this new 
functionality while it's in beta.

-Chris
