I'm opening a tiff image that has citt group 4 compression, creating a bitmap to manipulate it and then saving the bitmap as a tiff again. The new tiff has LZ compression and I need to get it back to citt. I've since added this code to specify compression

    Dim eps As EncoderParameters = New EncoderParameters(1)
    eps.Param(0) = New EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Qu ality, _
    System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderValue.CompressionCCI TT4)
    image.Save(FileName, ici, eps)

It doesn't give me an error, but the compression is still LZ... I think I'm missing something fundamental.

I use this Save overload:

image.Save("C:\\new1.tiff", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);

and it works fine. I read a bmp and save a tiff. Do you need to specify a codec?

Thanks Marco
Still no go... Saves as a tiff just fine, but it's still changing the compression. I added code to check the compression of the bitmap after it's manipulated and it still shows CITT4, but once saved as tiff it changes to LZ. Does yours not do this?

take a look at this article, this is where I got my code:

4wrh,

You just need to change this line to:

eps.Param(0) = New EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Compression, _
    System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderValue.CompressionCCI TT4)

Thank you both...I'll stop pulling my hair out now.
