Did we decided on a standard for which dtypes we will support?
Hi all,
At the SciPy sprint (ages ago), Chris suggested that we clean up the
image loading API. The following changes simplify `imread` by
removing the `dtype` argument. This allows for simpler plugins.
Because `as_grey` is such a commonly used parameter, it is left in
place, but now works differently: after the image is loaded, the (new)
rgb2grey is simply performed on it.
Please have a look at
