asked on
bmpsize to small??
I compiled the following code, which produces working bmp's (24bit color;size:1.5 MB), when I take a screenshot and paste it in mspaint, it produces a bmp with size 2.5 MB (also 24 bits color). The bmp's with the compiled code can't be read with certain programs (photoeditor,....).
My question is: how can I adapt my code (without using the libraries from www.smalleranimals.com or sth like this) so that it produces the 2.5 MB screenshots ????
Thanks.

thanks, but it didn't worked.
Do you happen to know how I should adapt the code so that the produced bmp is an 8-bits-colordepth bitmap??
Do you happen to know how I should adapt the code so that the produced bmp is an 8-bits-colordepth bitmap??
Look at the notes ive written ^^
Also I should have removed the reverse string thing in the code as it was specific to the library. In short dont reverse.
As for your question of how to make an 8 bit color depth just set the biBitCount to 8.
//if (lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCoun t <= 1)lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCou nt = 1;
//else if (lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCoun t <= 4)lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCou nt = 4;
//else if (lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCoun t <= 8)lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCou nt = 8;
//else lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCount = 24;
