I have used RMagic in the past, but it doesn't quite seem suited to per 
pixel editing.  I was trying to do an AI project of RedEye detection for 
  a class, and I did succeed to use it but I had to add a couple methods 
to more easily edit individual pixels.  It just didn't seem to be really 
set up to do per pixel calculations or modifications very nicely.  I was 
   curious if anyone else has suggestions on what would be most 
appropriate for that?
