Hi Mike,
Hi Mike ! :-)

I've just posted a sample "on demand" with a simple function that I've created some time ago.
Pls check it out and tell me how it works.

PS: No need of GDI+ for that !

Regards

Cesar

>Thanks for the sample. I've seen some code very similar to this that "dims" the controls on a form. What I'm looking for, I suppose, is the opposite effect where the colors get "brighter". I'm clueless about the GDI library, its classes and RGB color values.

>>Yes you can. This example is not exactly what you want, but it can get you started. The following change a colored JPEG image to a grayscale image. The function is too slow to be used as is, but you will get the idea.
>>

cImage = Getpict('jpg')
>>ConvertToGrayscale(cImage)
>>
>>Function ConvertToGrayscale(lcImage)
>>Set Classlib To Home()+'ffc/_gdiplus.vcx' Additive
>>oLogoImage = Newobject('gpBitmap',Home()+'ffc/_gdiplus.vcx')
>>oLogoImage.CreateFromFile(lcImage)
>>Private x,Y,nColor
>>lnWidth = oLogoImage.imagewidth
>>lnHeight = oLogoImage.imageheight
>>For Y=0 To lnHeight-1
>>	For x=0 To lnWidth-1
>>		Wait Window Nowait "Width in pixels: "+Transform(x)+", height pixels :" +Transform(Y)
>>		nColor = oLogoImage.GetPixel(x,Y)
>>		oColor = Createobject("gpColor",nColor)
>>		oAvg = (oColor.Red+oColor.Green+oColor.Blue)/3
>>		oColor.Set(Int(oAvg),Int(oAvg),Int(oAvg))
>>		oLogoImage.SetPixel(x,Y,oColor.ARGB)
>>	Next
>>Next
>>oLogoImage.SaveToFile("c:\ex.jpg","image/jpeg", "quality=100" )
>>Endfunc
