Our VIGRA imaging library can read and save PNGs with 8/16 bit data, as well 
as several kinds of TIFF files (including float data).  We are currently 
trying to re-model our python bindings (which have not yet been officially 
released) using NumPy containers for the images.

Unfortunately, we seem to get a performance penalty by the common convention 
that the order of the indices is x,y, e.g. colorImage[x,y] == [r,g,b].  See 
the other current thread.
