Parameters

image  Image

The original image to convert.

newPixelFormat  PixelFormat

The desired new pixel format.

quantizer  IQuantizer

An optional IQuantizer instance to determine the colors of the result. If and newPixelFormat is an indexed format, then a default palette and quantization logic will be used.

ditherer  IDitherer  (Optional)

The ditherer to be used. Might be ignored if quantizer is not specified and newPixelFormat represents an at least 24 bits-per-pixel size. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

asyncConfig  TaskConfig  (Optional)

The configuration of the asynchronous operation such as parallelization, cancellation, reporting progress, etc. When Progress is set in this parameter, then this library always passes a DrawingOperation instance to the generic methods of the IAsyncProgress interface. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

Usage Note

Alternatively, you can also use the BeginConvertPixelFormat(Image, PixelFormat, IQuantizer, IDitherer, AsyncConfig) method, which is available on every platform.

This method is not a blocking call even if the MaxDegreeOfParallelism property of the asyncConfig parameter is 1.
