Dim Canvas As Graphics Dim image1 As Bitmap Canvas = Graphics.FromImage(Photo.Image) Dim PhotoImage As Image PhotoImage = Photo.Image Dim GridColor As Color = Color.White Dim GridBrush As New SolidBrush(GridColor) Dim GridPen As New Pen(GridColor) Dim GridFont As New Font("Verdana", 12, FontStyle.Bold) Canvas.DrawString("Copyright", GridFont, GridBrush, 10, 10) ' Line below causes Graphics type cannot be converted to Bitmap error image1 = Canvas PhotoImage = image1 ' Draw image to screen. e.Graphics.DrawImage(image1, New PointF(0.0F, 0.0F))As you can see, I tried using a bitmap as a transitional stage between an image and a graphics object, but that didn't work. What I think I need is a ToImage method that does the opposite of the FromImage method.
