Paul, Try using the GDIPlusX library to load the image into memory, then save the image to disk as a 24 bit BMP.
The 24 bit BMP file format stores each pixel as a 3 byte (24 bit) RGB value. If I remember correctly, the actual RBG values will be stored in BGR order (vs. RGB order) if you're parsing a BMP file char by char. To parse the BMP file, you have to read past the BMP header and then read pixels by rows. I believe that each row must start on an boundary that is divisible by 4 so you need to account for some empty padding at the end of each row. I believe that Christof has written some FoxPro Advisor articles about how to do this. I also believe there may be some sample code on how to do this in the Profox archives from Christof and Cesaer.
