I'd like to make a simple VB utility to resize images using vb.net. I am having trouble figuring out what vb class to use to actually manipulate the images. The Image class and the Bitmap class don't work.
Any ideas, hints, tips, tutorial links are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Here is an article with full details on how to do this.
Private Sub btnScale_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnScale.Click
' Get the scale factor.
Dim scale_factor As Single = Single.Parse(txtScale.Text)
' Get the source bitmap.
Dim bm_source As New Bitmap(picSource.Image)
' Make a bitmap for the result.
Dim bm_dest As New Bitmap( _
CInt(bm_source.Width * scale_factor), _
CInt(bm_source.Height * scale_factor))
' Make a Graphics object for the result Bitmap.
Dim gr_dest As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bm_dest)
' Copy the source image into the destination bitmap.
gr_dest.DrawImage(bm_source, 0, 0, _
bm_dest.Width + 1, _
bm_dest.Height + 1)
' Display the result.
picDest.Image = bm_dest
End Sub

One more on the similar lines.
You can simply use this one line code to resize your image in visual basic .net
Public Shared Function ResizeImage(ByVal InputImage As Image) As Image
Return New Bitmap(InputImage, New Size(64, 64))
End Function
Where;
- "InputImage" is the image you want to resize.
- "64 X 64" is the required size you may change it as your needs i.e 32X32 etc.
This will re-size any image using the best quality with support for 32bpp with alpha. The new image will have the original image centered inside the new one at the original aspect ratio.
#Region " ResizeImage "
Public Overloads Shared Function ResizeImage(SourceImage As Drawing.Image, TargetWidth As Int32, TargetHeight As Int32) As Drawing.Bitmap
Dim bmSource = New Drawing.Bitmap(SourceImage)
Return ResizeImage(bmSource, TargetWidth, TargetHeight)
End Function
Public Overloads Shared Function ResizeImage(bmSource As Drawing.Bitmap, TargetWidth As Int32, TargetHeight As Int32) As Drawing.Bitmap
Dim bmDest As New Drawing.Bitmap(TargetWidth, TargetHeight, Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
Dim nSourceAspectRatio = bmSource.Width / bmSource.Height
Dim nDestAspectRatio = bmDest.Width / bmDest.Height
Dim NewX = 0
Dim NewY = 0
Dim NewWidth = bmDest.Width
Dim NewHeight = bmDest.Height
If nDestAspectRatio = nSourceAspectRatio Then
'same ratio
ElseIf nDestAspectRatio > nSourceAspectRatio Then
'Source is taller
NewWidth = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(nSourceAspectRatio * NewHeight))
NewX = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((bmDest.Width - NewWidth) / 2))
Else
'Source is wider
NewHeight = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((1 / nSourceAspectRatio) * NewWidth))
NewY = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((bmDest.Height - NewHeight) / 2))
End If
Using grDest = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmDest)
With grDest
.CompositingQuality = Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality
.InterpolationMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
.PixelOffsetMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality
.SmoothingMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias
.CompositingMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingMode.SourceOver
.DrawImage(bmSource, NewX, NewY, NewWidth, NewHeight)
End With
End Using
Return bmDest
End Function
#End Region
Don't know much VB.NET syntax but here's and idea
Dim source As New Bitmap("C:\image.png")
Dim target As New Bitmap(size.Width, size.Height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)
Using graphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(target)
graphics.DrawImage(source, new Size(48, 48))
End Using
Dim x As Integer = 0
Dim y As Integer = 0
Dim k = 0
Dim l = 0
Dim bm As New Bitmap(p1.Image)
Dim om As New Bitmap(p1.Image.Width, p1.Image.Height)
Dim r, g, b As Byte
Do While x < bm.Width - 1
y = 0
l = 0
Do While y < bm.Height - 1
r = 255 - bm.GetPixel(x, y).R
g = 255 - bm.GetPixel(x, y).G
b = 255 - bm.GetPixel(x, y).B
om.SetPixel(k, l, Color.FromArgb(r, g, b))
y += 3
l += 1
Loop
x += 3
k += 1
Loop
p2.Image = om
