No, nothing that fancy. So far I've wrapped functions that will read the
files... and another function will create a DIB that can be displayed using
Win32Lib's 'drawBitmap' function. Unfortunately, the lib doesn't support
GIF's (Unisys copyright?), however, I've previously done some work with the
GIF library in the RDS archives so I could easily incorporate it into the
lib.
But functions will be provided which allow you to directly access the image
palette and bits so you could conceivably expand on the functionality...
Various color reduction and image effects will also be included.
In case anybody is wondering, the library I'm wrapping up is FreeImage.

This is an easy to use, high level library, but I was only looking for a
general purpose image decoder for use in our Win32Lib programs (especially
support for JPEG and PNG). That and I wanted something that would be easy
to wrap (which it is... 8^)
