You typed 'olImage' - that's oImage :-}

IAC, it's irrelevant.

Dim loImage As System.Drawing.Bitmap = New Drawing.Bitmap(nCropWidth, nCropHeight)
oImage = loImage.Clone
loImage.Dispose()

is functionally identical to:

Using loImage As New Drawing.Bitmap(nCropWidth, nCropHeight)
      oImage = loImage.Clone
End Using

Only difference is that in the second usage loImage will be disposed even if the 'oImage=loImage.Clone' causes an exception
