{resolved} - BMP Bits n Bytes to RGB

right i've got this far with my image capture and cannot work out the best way to do this .... the user imports a BMP which is then converted to the following i can split the bmp into the exact grids but need to know how to get from a bmp format colours to RGB or Windows colours ...for rewriting back to the format of my files NOT bmp format ... its probably easy ... but this is the first time ive looked at image manipulation

here's the code the write the colours back to the BMP and a picture of the screen so you can see what i mean

VB Code:

' set blue
                            Marshal.WriteByte(scan0, firstByte, blue)
                            ' set green
                            Marshal.WriteByte(scan0, firstByte + 1, green)
                            ' set red
                            Marshal.WriteByte(scan0, firstByte + 2, red)

i'm not 100% sure if this is what you're looking for but try the Drawing.ColorTranslator class

ive got it .... picturebox.point will return the translated value .... many thanks any way

np and anytime
