While new gil.io is not in boost distribution, you can use io_new 
available here:

http://gil-contributions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gil_2/boost/gil/extension/io_new/

It can be used like this:

gil::rgb8_image_t img;

try
{
     boost::gil::read_and_convert_image(filePath, img,
         boost::gil::jpeg_tag());
}
catch (std::ios_base::failure&)
{
     // oops
}
