Ok, in my searching I've come across 4 useful libraries:
DevIL
ImageMagick
imlib2
SDL_image
Has anyone had experience with any of these?
I'd like to use SDL_image the best, however it is not really made for image manipulation... imlib2 seems to enlightenment-centric... hate enlightenment...dunno about the rest... but DevIL seems to do some openGL and allegro stuff... which I don't want in my image lib

depends on what you want to do ...
gd ( http://www.boutell.com/gd/ ) is my favourite
The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed.

I did some stuff with the ruby bindings of ImageMagick (RMagick) and I like it. But as dp mentioned, it depends on what you want to use it for.

good point... gd looks good too... only supports jpeg, png, and gif (eww)
basically i'm looking for an interface over libtiff/libjpeg/libpng/etc that statically links them. I don't want to have like a million dependacies just to work with images...
in addition, i'd need some support for transformations - nothing major but perhaps the ability to blit on image over another, regardless of format...

I am currently torn between ImageMagick (it seems to have better manipulation support, but I haven't delved into the details) and DevIL (which has internal rendering support which can use Allegro, OpenGL, and DirectX if needed (not used by default))...

There's the gdk_pixbuf and libart libraries if you're doing GTK programming. You should be able to blit images over others without much trouble.
