Hi! I have lots and lots of images (jpegs) that I would like to manipulate and shrink (in size). They are around 5 Mb big, so I thought this would be a good Haskell project since its a lazy evaluating language.

I must say that I don't see much use of laziness here. In any language you can read an image as incrementally as its format permits to do, but anyway some solid chunks must be present in the memory, in order to do the filtering, the index mapping, or whatever, in order to resize (or rotate, or...) the image. Actually, filling the memory with thunks may degrade the performance of an image processing tool...
