I have an image that gets uploaded I want to take this image and put it on a background image and then save it as a new image I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks

Take a look at the System.Drawing classes. In there is the Image class. This is a windows bitmap. You can create a new Image from a file (of many formats) or an IO stream (like what you would get from the upload process). From there you can "draw" other things onto the image. You could start with your background image and draw the uploaded image onto the canvas. Keep in mind however that an uploaded image that is solid will just sit on top of (and hide) the background. I don't know what advanced capabilities the drawing classes have, such as adjusting opacity or those types of operations. I've used them for creating thumbnails and simple resizing, but nothing more at this point.

Help

I worked on it last night and came up with this. I am creating a new image 400x400 and then I want to place this existing image which is 200X200 on top of the 400x400 image. It work but the image the 200X200 images does not keep it's same scale. I need the 200X200 image to keep its same scale when I place it on top of the 400X400 image.

Thanks

 Dim bmp As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(imgSource, 200, 200)
'Create a new Bitmap and Graphics object to write too.
        Dim OutPutBitMap As Bitmap = New Bitmap(400, 400)
        Dim OutPutGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(OutPutBitMap)
        OutPutGraphics.Clear(System.Drawing.ColorTranslato r.FromHtml("Black"))
        OutPutGraphics.DrawImageUnscaled(bmp, 0, 0)
        OutPutBitMap.SetResolution(96, 96)
        OutPutBitMap.Save("C:\aMerge\pp\NewImage.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
        Me.Image1.ImageUrl = "C:\aMerge\pp\NewImage1.jpg"

Actually the code worked the problem I was having is that I had to set the resolution of the first image to the same resolution of the final image. Here is the cleaned up code. This code takes an image and places it on a black background. This will give you a final image 400X400. You have to put in the adjustment if the first image is over 400X400.

        Dim imgSource As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(PathFileName)

Dim bmp As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(imgSource, 200, 200)
bmp.SetResolution(72, 72)
'Create a new Bitmap and Graphics object to write too.
        Dim OutPutBitMap As Bitmap = New Bitmap(400, 400)
        Dim OutPutGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(OutPutBitMap)
        OutPutGraphics.Clear(System.Drawing.ColorTranslato r.FromHtml("Black"))
        OutPutGraphics.DrawImageUnscaled(bmp, 0, 0)
        OutPutBitMap.SetResolution(72, 72)
        OutPutBitMap.Save(PathFileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
        Me.Image1.ImageUrl = PathFileName

You can import the System.Drawing class and save some typing.

Imports System.Drawing

or

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing" %>
