as it's homepage saids, FreeImage is a library project for developers who would like to support popular graphics image formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP and others). Some highlights are: extremely simple in use, not limited to the local PC (unique FreeImageIO) and Plugin driven! Also, dev-games/cegui, and the new dev-games/ogre ( currently in 1.4.0 branch ) need this as a replacement for devil. Devil has a long long long development cycle. so this packages is good :) Reproducible: Always
