I\'m doing some image processing, and I\'d like to individually read each pixel value in a JPEG and PNG images.
In my deployment scenario, it would be awkward for me
Since the other answers already mention that you will most likely need to use a library, take a look at ImageMagick and see if it is possible to do what you need it to do. It comes with a variety of different ways to interface with the core functionality of ImageMagick, including libraries for almost every single programming language available.
