c/c++ image loading/saving libraries

Question

I'm looking for a c/c++ library that can load and save image from all these requirements :

• multiple supported image format
• can load and save huge image (> 2GB) (that often mean a logic image from tiling multiple images)
• can read/write metadata
• have callback mechanism while loading/writing for user feedback

I saw a multitude of libraries but none of them seam to do the job :

• OpenCV
• Qt
• FreeImage
• Boost::GIL
• MIL (Matrox Imaging Library)
• LeadTools
• Cimg
• DevIl
• ...

I saw multiple posts addressing this problem but none of them answer my needs. Do I miss something? I am interested as much as a free or a paid library.

Thanks for your time!

Have you looked at libGD or ImageMagick?
