Christian,

yes I noticed the gil::io extension, even if I do not follow it closely. From my point of view, it lacks of documentation and of supported file formats.

My intent is not really to provide a GIL extension, but some bindings to the FreeImage library, which has been around for many years now. You can find its feature list (and supported formats) here :
http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/features.html

Cheers,
Nicolas.

Nicolas, glad you like using boost::gil. Did you notice that gil comes
with an io extension? Also, what image formats can your extension read
and write?
