I have had the following report a couple of
times on my soft:
Photoshop 5.0 will not open the BMP files
created by
1.5:
"Could not open the document because the
file-format module
cannot parse the file"
However, Firehand Ember Pro v. 3.8.1 will
open
the files, so all I had to do was
"launder" them first, and then
Photoshop
could use them in the BMP format.
What is the
'standard' format for BMP if there is one. I need high-res, but compatible with
all if that is possible.
Currently I am saving the files sortof like
follows:
bitmap := Tbitmap.create;
FIMG1.bmp.draw(bitmap.Canvas.Handle, 0,
0);
bitmap.HandleType := bmDIB;
savepic1.filename :=
ChangeFileExt(Savepic1.filename,
'.bmp');
bitmap.SaveToFile(SavePic1.FileName);
Do I 'have' to do something like
follows:
with FileHeader
do
begin
bfType :=
$4D42;
bfSize :=
Size;
bfReserved1 :=
0;
bfReserved2 :=
0;
bfOffBits := SizeOf(TBitmapFileHeader) +
SizeOf(TBitmapInfoHeader);
case
Info^.bmiHeader.biBitCount of
1:
bfOffBits := bfOffBits + 2 * 4;
4:
bfOffBits := bfOffBits + 16 * 4;
8: bfOffBits := bfOffBits + 256 * 4;
end;
end;
Cheers,
