Yes, that is what *should* happen...

There are two possibilities:
a) The FLE does not find PIL at all. To check whether this is the case,
   start adding a new jam session: If you have only two options
   ("Mutate on previous" and "Explore possibilities") in "type of jam
   session" field, FLE does not find PIL. If there are three options
   ("Diverge & Converge" in addition to two mentioned before) FLE
   finds PIL.
b) FLE finds PIL, but PIL does not support the image format you
   are using. If you have compiled PIL yourself, it might be
   possible that in the compilation process JPEG or ZLIB libraries
   were not found. In that case PIL will not support (at least)
   JPEG and PNG formats.
