python PIL Image open isn't RGB

i've been trying to open a .jpg image using 

im = Image.open('file.jpg').

my problem is that for some reason the "im" is not an RGB image, i.e the channels are not R,G,B. this also cause the im.convert('L') (rgb2gray) give a very bad result.

channel 0 image, attemped gray sacale.

Im using: Python 2.7.12 |Anaconda 4.1.1 (64-bit)

I would very much appreciate any help figuring this out.

edit: it seems the problem is that the matplotlib color map isn't set right. does anyone know why? and how to fix?

You can find current mode in im.mode and do convert with im.convert('RGB').
