  Description     : A Pure-Java Image Library

This Pure-Java library reads and writes a variety of image formats, including 
fast parsing of image info (size, color space, icc profile, etc.) and metadata.

Some features extracted from Sanselan website:

 - Sanselan is easy to use. It has a simple, clean interface. Most operations 
   are a single Sanselan method call.
 - The core functionality is reading and writing a variety of image formats. 
 - Sanselan supports a number of format variations and uncommon features not 
   supported by other image libraries.
 - Sanselan does more than read and write images. Reading image info 
   (image size, colorspace, bit depth, etc.) and metadata is easy and does 
   not require reading the entire image.
 - Sanselan supports reading and writing a variety of metadata in a 
   structured way, including EXIF metadata.
 - Sanselan provides a consistent api across a variety of image formats.
 - Sanselan is network-aware. Sanselan will only read the data it needs. 
   Reading most image info and metadata only requires reading a header.
 - Sanselan can extract and (simply) parse embedded ICC Profiles. Moreover, 
   Sanselan applies the icc profile by default, coverting read images to 
   sRGB. This means images are color-corrected by default.
