saving grayscale

I'm using bmp.Save() and the bmp is in PixelFormat.For mat8bppIndexed.
But when I open the image with Gimp, it tells me that the image is RGB
and not grayscale.

Try with PixelFormat.For mat16bppGraySca le. I believe Format8bppIndex ed is a
two-color bitmap.

It is not exactly. Format8bppIndex ed isn't a binary image. U can use
256 colors..

As Bob Powell say the 16bppGrayscale is a broken format under GDI+.

Then I've no solution to create a GrayScale image. Where is the power
of .NET?

hi - i'm a bit new to PHP - i've been messing around with the GD2 image functions and was wondering: i see a lot of information about converting a color image to grayscale but i can't figure out how to determine whether an image (GIF or JPG) is grayscale in the first place. is there a way to do this in PHP?

In trying to speed up my web pages, I want to avoid using multiple images (disabled, hover, nohover). I've currently got opacity working on hover and it looks great and works in IE and Moz. But I now need a grayscale filter to show the image as disabled. Does anybody know of a Mozilla way of doing this. I know that -moz-opacity works for mozilla, is there an equivalent for grayscale? Thanks, JsD

Hi, I'm trying to create a grayscale image class that reads and writes grayscale Targa format. This works well with smaller images, but corrupts larger images and creates a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error. I am at a loss as to why this works only part of the time. I hope it's proper etiquette to post the code below (3 files). Can someone please show me what's wrong with the following code? I

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. Public Sub ConvertBadBitmap(ByVal FilePath As String) Dim objPicture As New Bitmap(816, 1056, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale) objPicture = objPicture.FromFile(FilePath) objPicture.Save("C:\ConvertPHOTO.bmp")

Hi I was at the search for making e.Graphics.DrawImage turn any image to Grayscale, and I found two similar solutions but different ColorMatrix values, what is the difference between the two? Is there an industry standard for the GrayScale ColorMatrix values? Thanks, Henry Solution #1, Jacob Grass:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
