No ITK does not support TGA. And just to avoid any further
misunderstanding you should definitely NOT use itk::RawImageIO for
reading TGA as file format allows footer, color map and compression
(AFAIK).
I would simply use the convert command from imagemagick package to
convert it to another lossless format such as a RAW or TIFF.
