Reading a JPEG file as numbers?

Can anyone offer a quick recipe for how to read the RGB components in 
the file itself, as (preferably base 10 integer) numbers in an integber 
array, for each pixed of a small JPEG (or TIFF) image, using Mathematica 
or GraphicConverter?

(Thanks much for any help.  I  could try to dig into and learn about 
JPEG formats, but I just need a quick look at a few images.  Also, I 
know how to use the Mac DigitalColor Meter, but besides its being a bit 
awkward to use, I have the impression that it reads what is being put on 
the screen, not necessarily what's in the image file the screen may be 
displaying.)
