How to save a pic under pic-format ?

hi josef_hd,

oops, looks like somebody already answered it...

well, here is the one proposed with others, JPEG...

lot's of free components already available for this :

e.g.

 http://torry.rimini.com/vcl/graphics/gifimage.exe
 http://torry.rimini.com/vcl/graphics/jpgimg.zip

Here is a simple example to convert  BMP to a JPG file and then save it on a disk...
uses JPEG;
//--------------------
var
  MyJpeg: TJpegImage;
  Image1: TImage;
begin
  Image1:= TImage.Create;
  MyJpeg:= TJpegImage.Create;
  try
    Image1.LoadFromFile('TestImage.BMP');  // Load the Bitmap from a file
    MyJpeg.Assign(Image1.Picture.Bitmap);  // Assign the BitMap to MyJpeg
    MyJpeg.SaveToFile('MyJPEGImage.JPG'); // Save the JPEG to Disk
  finally
    MyJpeg.Free;
    Image1.Free;
  end;
end;
