Comment (by carter):

 Hey Mirpa,

 i warmly recommend not using Ix and Array types from base when indexing
 into multidimensional arrays,
 juicy pixels has some decent bare bones facilities that should be easier
 to use http://hackage.haskell.org/package/JuicyPixels-3.1.3.2/docs/Codec-
 Picture.html

 likewise, I have some work in progress apis for multi dimensional arrays i
 hope to release soon.

 alternatively, REPA, YARR and/or ACCELERATE are all nice libs that can
 really shine on image related work loads.
