[RESOLVED] A challenging pixel problem!

[intraman]

Hello,

Hope you are well. Any help here would be appreciated.

Here is my problem. I would like to iterate through every pixel in a jpeg image and retrieve its' colour code, storing all pixel colours for the image in an array. Finally, I will iterate through the array looking for skin tones and flagging them into a separate array. (The naughty array ) Now, I have the skin tone ranges sorted but here is the question:

What is the quickest way to go about iterating through the pixels in an image and retrieving colour code? (in vb.net)
(I have heard down the grapevine that GetPixel() can be slow, i'd ideally like to be talking a few seconds per image)

Many Thanks!
Jord
