image processing in C

[inquizitive1]

Hello..

I am trying to do image processing using C. However, I am a complete novice at this. Can anyone please tell me about a C library(or a similar program etc) to read JPEG (or other) image files and store the data thus obtained. Please help me in any way you can.

Regards.

And the whole opensource image processing library suite in C++ is available at http://cimg.sourceforge.net/

Hope it helped.
Bye.
