This looks very promising, and they have trial downloads for both Windows
and Mac OS X. Price for the full versions looks pretty reasonable too.

A potentially useful freeware tool (good for Windows, Unix, and both Mac OS
X and Classic MacOS is ImageJ, which is the successor to NIH Image:

It does not handle MrSID images, but it will do all sorts of stuff with
other formats (like TIFF for example), and the source code and loads of
plugins are available for download too.
