image to array

I need to turn .tiff images into an arrays. I am interested in how this is done for any image time. I have read into discrete transforms, but how would this be coded?

Thanks in advance.

Use an image manipulation library which removes you from having to deal with file formats.

If you tell us your compiler, we might be able to suggest a compatible library.

Or check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_Image_File_Format
Read the specs to find out what each byte does.

You can check out libTIFF at http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff. Depending on your platform, it may already be installed.
