Yea, I've often thought that an OpenGL/D3D texture manipulation
(loading, rendering to, readback, etc) Boost.GIL extension was a good
idea.  I usually use DevIL for that, but it's anything but "Modern
C++".  Has any work already been done in that area?  What about
accelerating image filters and effects using the GPU?

I'll take a look around the GIL docs and the link you posted, thanks.
