It would be nice to have a SaveImage command

Result = SaveImage(#Image, FileName$)

so we can easily load an image, draw on it and then save back to disk.

Planned.. I hope for the next release. But BMP writting code shouldn't be so hard to adapt in PB

. LoadImage() and CreateImage() returns the Windows Bitmap pointer (HBMP).

Excellent job Fred !!

I was having a heck of a time drudging through the dreaded Windows API trying to make heads or tails of the whole Bitmap process.

Hey Fred,

I have a BMP that is 900kb (640x480)
When I save it to disk using SaveImage() the resulting file is 1200kb and is unreadable by PhotoShop. MS Paintbrush will read it but what's with the extra 300kb ?? (is it trying to save Alpha info?)

Unreadable with photoshop ? Damn. In fact, it saves in the same format than your screen mode (I guess you work in 32 bit). It's a bit silly and I will try to change it quickly. Thanks for the info..
