Scale images and save them in C#
Occasionally when I’m writing a book or article, I need to scale images and then save them. MS Paint does this easily, but it loses any transparency information when it saves images. This program lets you scale images and then … Continue reading
Make shaped PictureBoxes in C#
This example shows how to use regions to make shaped PictureBoxes. The PNG image format allows you to define transparent pixels. As you might guess, if you draw an image with transparent pixels, those pixels are not drawn and whatever … Continue reading

Warp images arbitrarily in C#, Part 1
This is an extension of the example Use image filters to perform edge detection, smoothing, embossing, and more in C# that adds new features that warp images in arbitrary ways. The idea is to use two functions F(x, y) and … Continue reading
