quentininsa: Sorry, I never have worked with TIFF images...

Thanks for the info!
Any idea on how to minimize the memory consumption of a Tiff Image. Currently I convert it to BMP, but was thinking perhaps drawing to a JPeg might be more memory friendly??

All I want to do is open an image, flip it 180 degrees and save it.

I get the "file in use" by another process message with this usage:

public static void FlipImage(string imagePath)
{

try
{

System.Drawing.Image originalImage = NonLockingOpen(imagePath);

originalImage.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone);

NonLockingSave((System.Drawing.Image)originalImage.Clone(), imagePath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
}

catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}

}

Excellent Code. Working fine without a single change. Now i am opening /saving all images after any operation using NoLock to avoid any system crash.

thanks a lot.

Re: Open source fails when it most matters

Hi Gabriel,

Good point, and I can't disagree with it. But there is one thing you are missing I think. Let's take something opposite to OpenSource, like abstract commercial software development company. I don't think that development and sale are taken care by the same guys there, right? Some people good at development and they do it. Others are good sellers and they sell a product.

Same thing is about OpenSource. For example, I own an OS-project, but I'm not a good seller. I'm not a seller at all. Moreover, I don't want to be a seller. And if some real seller would contribute his selling effort into the project, it will be very appreciated, but nobody comes and contributes so far. So, it's not about dropping a ball at 99.9% mark, it's about there is nobody to pick up the ball at this mark.

A sale is a sale, it's true. But OS-project must become very popular before he started to receive required contributions, not related to development but very important to make the project a winner. Thus, I can't agree that OpenSource is its own enemy. OpenSource has more strict business restrictions due to its non-commercial nature, and it makes life of any OS-project harder, than of any commercial one. I know a lot of successful OpenSource projects, but all of them started to shine only when they started to get more from other people. So, I agree that OpenSource often fails at this point, but don't hurry up to blame OpenSource for this.

Best regards,
Artem

Robin,

The code is

Image img2 = (Image)img.Clone();

You are cloning img2, not img.

Re: C#: Working with Images, image files, and PictureBoxes

Robin — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 03:50:34 -0000

I tried implimenting your code in my project but

Image img2 = (Image)img2.Clone();

keeps giveing me an error.

Error 1 Use of unassigned local variable 'img2'

any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

I was pulling my hair out also until I found this information. The only problem I had with the code was that I would get a typlicaly unhelpfull error message of “A generic error occurred in GDI+” when I would attempt to fill my picturebox with your code. I did a little research and found that “You must keep the stream open for the lifetime of the Image.” Once I commented out “ms.Close();” the code worked fine and I am able to delete the root image as needed. Thanks so much for posting, it was very helpful.
