Hey Tyler!

   OSSIM can be a heavy (but useful) raster toolkit, as can OTB.  I 
think there is room in the FOSS4G world for a small GUI app to do raster 
operations, basically supplying a GUI to gdalwarp, gdal_translate, etc.  
Kinda like ogr2gui (http://www.ogr2gui.ca) but for raster...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
