Does anyone know how to read in a grayscale bitmap image in Visual C++ and
store the pixel values in an array ?

Thanks,

Sure. You open the file using 'ifstream' object, and then use
'read' member function to retrieve the contents of the file.
Whenever you encounter a "pixel value" (whatever that means
to you), you store it in the array you allocate before starting
the reading operation. Use 'new' to allocate the array.

Or did you expect to find a manual of graphical file formats
here? We don't do graphics in comp.lang.c++. You should try
comp.graphics.a lgorithms or comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.

But this is off-topic

I am trying to cahnge pixel value of a grayscale image using Bitmap object . Each pixel is consists of 8 bits. Bitmap bigim(720,480,PixelFormat8bppIndexed) ( I tried 8 instead PixelFormat8bppIndexed) I wanted to assign the values of each pixel using bigim.SetPixel(x,y,integer value between 0 to 255)

I'm having trouble reducing the size of a bitmap programmatically: The file size of the original is 2400k. The picture is 816x1056. 16 million colors i think. I only need grayscale render.
