Hey JD,

skimage doesn't implement image readers, but instead, uses other i/o
libraries as plugins (so there's no good way to list image format support).
For me, `skimage.io.imread` doesn't read jp2 by default (my default plugin
is 'PIL'), but I can set the plugin to 'freeimage' to read jp2 images; e.g.

    from skimage import io
    io.imread('some_image.jp2', plugin='freeimage')

which uses freeimage just for that one call or

    io.use_plugin('freeimage')
    io.imread('some_image.jp2')

which changes your default io plugin to freeimage. You'd need to have the
freeimage library installed on your system to use this plugin:

    http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/

There may be other skimage plugins that support jp2, but I'm not sure.

Best,
-Tony
