[ASP.NET] Convert an OLD JPEG in TIFF Format to System.Drawing.Bitmap with leadtools ?

Hello!!
I'm  using leadtools 17 I would like to know how to convert with leadtools an OLD JPEG IN TIFF image in System.Drawing.Bitmap and then streaming it to asp:image control.

please help.

Thank You!.

Terry,
If you want to load an image of any format (including TIFF JPEG variations) into a System.Drawing.Image, you can simply use our RasterCodecs.Load() method to load your file, then call the RasterImageConverter. ConvertToImage() method. For details and code sample, please see the RasterImageConverter Class help topic. Also available on this page:
http://www.leadtools.com/Help/LEADTOOLS/v17/DH/ld/leadtools.drawing~leadtools.drawing.rasterimageconverter.html

About streaming, we have our own web image viewer so if you want to use the Microsoft Bitmap object, you can't use it with LEADTOOLS directly. You can however use our own objects for web display. For details, see the WebFormsDemo shipped with our toolkit.
You can find the demo source code in this folder location:
[LEADTOOLS 17 folder]\Examples\DotNet\CS\WebFormsDemo

Thank You Adnan,
but I don't have to convert a TIFF in JPEG but I
have to stream TIFF File that have inside a JPEG structure (the famous OLD JPEG in TIFF)
can you please provide to me a example how to stream this kind of file to leadtools WebImageViewer ?
for the normal tiff and the Microsoft asp:image I can do this..

System.IO.Stream _stream = new System.IO.FileStream("C:\myImage.tiff", System.IO.FileMode.Open);
        try
        {
            Bitmap _bmp = new Bitmap(_stream);
            Context.Response.ContentType = "image/gif"; //no problem if jpeg,png etc etc
            _bmp.Save(Context.Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif); // no problem if jpeg, png etc etc..
            _bmp.Dispose();
            _stream.Close();
        }

I want be able to do the same with this kind of TIFF file that with the Bitmap class go in "out of memory exception".

please help me.

Thank You for your support.

Terry.

Terry,
Your code snippet above is actually performing a conversion from TIFF to GIF. However, since the MS classes do not support TIFF/JPEG (a.k.a. JTIF), this code will not work with JTIF images.

On the other hand, our toolkit can load and save almost all types and subtypes of TIFF, including JTIF. They also support saving to stream, so you should be able to use code like this at the server side:

RasterCodecs _codecs = new RasterCodecs();
RasterImage img = _codecs.Load(@"C:\myImage.tiff");
_codecs.Save(img, outputStream, RasterImageFormat.Gif, 8); // or any web-friendly format such as JPEG 24 bits or PNG.

Using this code, you can actually load and convert to web formats from all file formats supported by our toolkit, of which there are dozens. Of course you will need some of our DLLs on the server, depending on which formats you want to support. For a detailed list, see the help topic "Files to be Included with Your Application".

Hello Adnan
Thank You for your help.
I can sucessfully stream the image now thank you
but with this code image change drastically :(

MemoryStream _stream = new MemoryStream();
        RasterCodecs _codecs = new RasterCodecs();
        RasterImage img = _codecs.Load(_percorsoFile);
        _codecs.Save(img, _stream, RasterImageFormat.Gif, 8);
        Bitmap _bmp = new Bitmap(_stream);
        Context.Response.ContentType = "image/gif";
        _bmp.Save(Context.Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif);

I don't know why but the image looks orrible :(

Please help me.

This could be related to the original image's color content. The GIF format does not support full color. It only supports up to 8 bits per pixel (maximum of 256 unique colors). If your original image has more colors, consider saving to the stream using 24-bits PNG or JPEG (RasterImageFormat.Png, Jpeg, Jpeg411 or Jpeg422).

OK !! I got it..
thank you!

but now.. how I can steam the image to  WebThumbnailViewer because seems that it can load only phisically the file with the load method ?
I need to stream to this object because I will load the image from a non virtual path, and I can't use the load method.


Thank you for all of your help.

What do you mean exactly by "non virtual path"?
In your original code, you saved the MS Bitmap object to a Context.Response.OutputStream. If you want to do the same thing using LEADTOOLS, simply call our RasterCodecs.Save(stream, ...) method.

If you're trying to do something else, please give exact details about the source file location, the LEADTOOLS object(s) you're using, where they are being instantiated (client, server, etc.), and where everything is being executed.
