Answer 1

I like gd. Real popular.

Answer 2

All these libraries are way too complicated for me. In your place I'd grit my teeth, define an abstraction for a dynamic two-dimensional array, and I'd read and write plain ASCII PNM format.

Answer 3

Simple Direct-media Layer (SDL) with SDL_image

Answer 4

You could try stb_image for reading and stb_image_write for writing. These are very small libraries.

Answer 5

You definitely want to look at the imagemagik c connector api. It is very easy to get going, and the linked page has some nice code samples.

And there is always the ubiquitous GD library. It is not hard to use either.

Answer 6

I think FreeImage is the best one out there:
