Change image pixel colors

[meowbits]

What im trying to do is change the color of an image.

If the image below had alternating black and white boxes, how do I go about detecting the white pixels and changing them to black ones?

Thanks.

Detecting a pixel color is easy using PixelGetColor()

For changing the image I think you need to read the documentation for GDIplus in the helpfile. I have no experience with that.

Thanks Tvern, pointed me in the right direction for the first part

Alright, so I have the image saved to my desktop, just a 200x200 box with alternating black/white boxes in it.

I can use the _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage function to capture and save the image to,

Desktop\boxTest.jpg

How do I scan each pixel of the image and change the color if not black?,

Do While Not currentPixelColor = 0x000000

currentPixelColor = 0xFFFFFF

currentPixel[index-1] = currentPixel[index-1] +1

WEnd

I realise that isn't right.. but hopefully it helps to explain what I'm trying to do. I wouldn't be suprised if I have wrong logic.

Feel free to point out anything.

This is modified from here - 1 year old today. Edit: tomorrow.

Two regular expressions added :-

$hImage2 = _ImageColorRegExpReplace($hImage, "(FFFFFFFF", "000000FF"); Change white to black.

and

$hImage2 = _ImageColorRegExpReplace($hImage, "(?i)([E-F][0-9A-F]){3}FF", "000000FF"); Change almost white to black.

The second RegExpReplace replaces slight shades of white.
