Hello,

Are jpeg 2000 images supported in skimage? I tried looking for it in the docs but didn't find anything.

Thanks

Hey JD, skimage doesn't implement image readers, but instead, uses other i/o libraries as plugins (so there's no good way to list image format support). For me, `skimage.io.imread` doesn't read jp2 by default (my default plugin is 'PIL'), but I can set the plugin to 'freeimage' to read jp2 images; e.g. from skimage import io io.imread('some_image.jp2', plugin='freeimage') which uses freeimage just for that one call or io.use_plugin('freeimage') io.imread('some_image.jp2') which changes your default io plugin to freeimage. You'd need to have the freeimage library installed on your system to use this plugin: http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ There may be other skimage plugins that support jp2, but I'm not sure.
