How to go about this program?

[Rick]

Basically I am writing a program where the user enters a doctors name, bio,
and selects a picture from their hard disk and this information needs to be
saved into a .tiff file. I have the layout of the form and have the
picturebox textbox, but I am unsure of how I would save it to a TIFF.

Here is what it needs to do.

Basically I would have the first image load with the program, and then when
the user enters all the information, a copy of the image would be created
and the text placed on the image. Then the user would save the file. Getting
the text onto the image is what I am having trouble with.

Hi Rick,

I think that you need for that encoding to Tiff

System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder

I have seen that it is described there and there are samples in C#.

But it in my opinion it is till now very thin described in/on MSDN.

I am myself busy with it, so that is all help I can give you now.

I am going to have to set frames for the picture though, right? That way I
can place the text and image in appropriate locations. Been looking on
MSDN, but have had no luck.

Hi Rick,

When I paste in that string I did give you I get almost as the 3th line

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...n-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdrawingimaging.asp

But how to do it, I am at the moment busy with JPEG, TIFF is after GIF for
me.

But I thought that I had seen you have to do encoding from the image bitmap
to the other format and TIFF was needing some special encoding settings

But how I don't know for TIFF yet

But I thougth there is a lot of infomation I think to start with, but as far
as I saw it it is not direct beginner stuf

I hope this helps a little bit?
