KnownPixelFormat Enumeration

Represents pixel formats with built-in support. For custom formats you can use the PixelFormatInfo type when applicable.

public enum KnownPixelFormat

Remarks

  Note

The KnownPixelFormat enumeration contains all formats that the System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat enumeration also has, though some fields have different values and the matching names do not necessarily represent the same pixel layout either. For example, in this library wide formats, such as Format64bppArgb, use the full 16 bit per color channel range and the same gamma correction as the 8-bit per channel formats, whereas System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format64bppArgb might represent a different range or gamma correction, depending on the operating system.
