Mohamed:
Khoros, from Khoral Research, Albuquerque NM, is a free program (but with minor licensing issues) for image manipulation (and much more). It is really an X-window application development environment optimized to produce image manipulation programs. It includes hundred of routines for mathematical and statistical analysis, scientific visualization, image manipulation and display,etc. It can support distributed processing across the network and has a visual programming environment which allows fairly naive users to implement their own imaging systems using tools provided by Khoros (or developed inhouse).
You can get Khoros 2.0 (you don't want Khoros 1.05) by anonymous FTP from ftp.khoros.unm.edu. There are some bugs for OSF 2.0 and greater but since OSF/1 is their development platform (they used vers 1.3) they are aggresively and hopefuly systematically stamping them out.
