Thanks Dimitri, You've confirmed my initial guess at what would make the most sense. I have one minor question...
If I were to use TYPE_3BYTE_BGR I assume that the array is padded at the end of each line much like a Windows BITMAP would expect for alignment. The documentation for TYPE_3BYTE_BGR does say "corresponding to a Windows-style BGR color model" but doesn't explicitly mention the per-line alignment restrictions (multiples of 32bits per line). Perhaps the documentation could be explicit about that.
