    Hi everybody!

    I'm using the MS code from Q161299 to capture the desktop (to make a screen grab).

    When I save the grab, it averages around 1.3Mb. Does anyone know of anyway to get this down?

    Cheers all!

    Lowering the colour depth of the display to 8-bit? (I'll give you the code if you are still doing this project)

    Smile Convert...

    Convert the image to a different graphics format. There are DLL's available with functions for doing this. Try searching Planet Source Code for "JPEG GIF CONVERT" etc. Also, there have been about 10 threads on this all ready, so u might wanna try the forum search too.

    Hope this helps.
