I would like to load 32-bit images (RGB+alpha) for use with GLUT/ OpenGL.

I know GTK2HS has support for loading images, but does a standalone Haskell (wrapper) module exists for loading images?

PNG or TGA would be enough for me.

The Imlib2 binding (called Imlib-0.1.0) on Hackage provides the necessary tools to load and manipulate images in a variety of formats including PNG, but it's under-documented and a little rough and untested.

I'm currently working on a new version with proper documentation, a number of bugfixes, and a somewhat more Haskellish interface.

The gd package also allows loading, manipulating and saving images in several formats, see http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/gd /Björn
