[Boost-users] simple question about gil

I need to read, write (mid file stream), display, and resize (on screen 
only) an image or images.

In giving a cursory examination of GIL it seems like total overkill and 
inappropriate for these simple needs but targeting something that is 
going to manipulate the images further.

Is this an accurate assessment or are the tutorial examples simply 
focused for goals other than mine?

Thanks.
