ColorMerge method (Main Control)

Remarks

Creates a color bitmap by merging grayscale bitmaps that were created as color separations. You can use this to recombine the bitmaps that the ColorSeparate method creates.

The supported color-space models are RGB, CMYK, CMY, HSV, and HLS.

This method supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale images and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

If all the bitmaps are 16 bits grayscale bitmaps then the resulting bitmap is 48 bits per pixel, otherwise the resulting bitmap is 24 bits per pixel.

You can use the ColorPlanes property to access the grayscale bitmaps.

This method does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this method.
