I am writing an imaging library (using the MIT licence) and would like to hook it up to a library that supports loading and saving of images in various file formats (bmp, png, jpg etc) I am aware of FreeImage, but it appears to use a GPL licence. Is there anything out there similar to FreeImage that uses MIT rather than GPL ?

Well, just so you know, there's also DevIL and it is under the LGPL.

The ImageMagick license is not MIT, but it appears to be compatible (though I'm no expert on these license issues).
The Adobe Generic Image Library has an MIT license, although I am not sure if it has what you are looking for.

ImageMagick is way overkill for what i want i think. ImageMagick not only loads/saves but offers all range of image manipulation tools. I solely need the loading/saving.

Have you looked at the PIL (python image library). It should do what you want and it looks like an MIT license (it has a free permissive one) .
