What, can't write your own converter?  Considering you're a "magnificent 
programmer" and "image processing expert", what's the problem?

The problem is you're a liar.

As usual, you spew idiocy.  Pillow has significantly more lines of new 
Python code than those found in the libs.

Show us how YOU do it in C, fer chrissake.

Or slink your talentless 'C Programmer Extraordinaire' ass away for the

You can't keep your stupidity straight from one minute to the next.
