I've developed smc.freeimage exclusively to process large amounts of TIFF images. I estimate that we have processed more than twelve million unique TIFF images with about half a petabyte of data. The packages uses Cython to wrap FreeImage (containing libtiff, libpng, libjpeg, libraw and more) and LittleCMS2. The package is mostly fitted to our needs, a bit limited (e.g. no conversion of CMYK to RGB with color management) and doesn't follow recent best practices for Cython code, but it does it job well. I need to clean up the code base some day when more people get interested in the lib. Christian
