Converting to grayscale

i am trying to convert an image into grayscale format. but i have a problem
saving the bmp file after the process.here the code;

for (int y = 0; y < Height; y++)

{

for (int x = 0; x < Width; x++)

{

Color c = img1.GetPixel(x , y);

int pxl= (int)(c.R * 0.3 + c.G * 0.59 + c.B * 0.11);

img1.SetPixel(x , y, Color.FromArgb( pxl, pxl, pxl));

img1.Save(filep ath);

}

}

but i get an exception;

"External exception was unhandled.

A generic error occurred in GDI+. "

where s the problem?

thanks.

The Img1.Save should not be in the for loop

Read how to use the GDI+ ColorMatrix class to do just that:

I have a one dimensional byte array that stores the pixel information of my image. The image is 8-bit grayscale so each byte in the array holds a value from 0(black) to 255(white) for a single pixel. I need a way to save this this byte array as a gif. Does anyone have any suggestions???

I'm using bmp.Save() and the bmp is in PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed. But when I open the image with Gimp, it tells me that the image is RGB and not grayscale.

Currently I got a thermal image mapping program which converts grayscale pictures to RGB. Now, what I need to do is to convert those 3 RGB colors into other three colours. The choice of colours are white, black, red, green and blue. To explain more, for the thermal mapping using grayscale converted to RGB, red denotes hot areas, green-zero, and blue-cold. What I want to do is to make a program that enables you to choose the colours from the...
