Hi all,  I'm using the viewer to show images that the user gets from a scanner, when the process finish i have a ImageCollection in the viewer with N ImImage classes, my problem is that we have another component that needs this images but the parameter this component need is a Bitmap, so my question is there is a way to convert the ImageCollection to a Bitmap?, right now I'm saving the ImageCollection to a Stream and then creating a Bitmap with this Stream but I'm wondering if there is an easier way.

Thanks

Hello,

 You can get a Bitmap object for each ImImage in the collection by using the ImImage class's .GetBitmapImage method.

Yes i know that, but i need a multiframe tif, so i wanted to create a Bitmap with all the images in the collection as frames, i guess i was jut being lazy and wanted a method like ImageCollection.ToBitmap()

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

The .Net Bitmap object represents only one page of a file not multiple pages. You can use the foreach operator to iterate thru the ImImage objs in the collection  and call the GetBitmap on them.
