Altering the PixelFormat of an Image

[Phil Galey]

If you have a bitmap, but need for it to be of a different PixelFormat, how
can you do that? PixelFormat is ReadOnly. Does it have to be done while
Drawing to a graphics object? I wonder if there's a code sample available
somewhere in which this is done. Thanks

Hi,

Create a new bitmap and specify the pixelformat in the
constructor. Draw the old image on the new bitmap.
