I expect that would come after. The thing about an image library though is it's a lot more debatable how it should look. Colours don't really have much room for argument; it's complete and efficient, or it's not. At very least, once we have colours in phobos, then we can add modules to read/write image files, which is quite a sore vacancy. We should also be able to interact with OS calls that deal with image data more conveniently.
