I load to images within the viewer:

1 jpg

1 gif - transparent

I need to be able to work with the gif image:

Change RGB

Change Brightness & Contrast

This does not seem possible or am I missing the plot?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Barry

GIF files are always stores in 8-bit indexed pixel format. That's why you cannot apply these effects until you convert it to 24-bit RGB format.

So to resolve this problem, you should call:

objBitmap.Data.ConvertTo24bppRgb

before you try to apply any channel-based transforms.

Doing that does not work. The image is not transparent any more. The image below it then becomes hidden and I o not want this to be so.

Anything else I can do?

Sorry, I did not notice that you need to maintain transparency.

If you need to keep the transparency, you should convert to 32-bit ARGB (i.e. pixel format with alpha channel). So you should use the ConvertTo32bppArgb method instead of ConvertTo24bppRgb.
