Subject: load image bitmap into array

I'm trying to load a grayscale  image (some standard format will do,
jpeg, png, bmp etc..) into an array, where I can access every pixel by
its coohrdinates and where every pixel is described by a single number
(0..255 8bit) from white to black.

How can I do that? I only need to read, not write images. It's for
analysing them..

thanks
Luca
