I don't know what you're trying to do, but I suspect there are better tools
available for image processing than R. The astronomers I know like Perl Data
Language, MATLAB and its free work-alikes, Octave and Scilab. It's been a while
since I looked at Perl Data Language; at the time I discovered it, it was
pretty much UNIX-only, so I didn't do much with it, being constrained to
Windows. Scilab is great on Windows, though.
