This feature is being deprecated for this release. Refer to this component: Windows Imaging Component.

These values are flags used to identify the numerical formats of pixels in images.

Definition:

(5 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)

PixelFormat16bppRGB565

Is 16bpp RGB 5-6-5.

Definition:

(6 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)

PixelFormat16bppARGB1555

Is 16bpp ARGB 1-5-5-5.

Definition:

(7 | (16 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatGDI)

PixelFormat24bppRGB

Is 24bpp RGB (blue in low-order byte).

Definition:

(8 | (24 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)

PixelFormat32bppRGB

Is 32bpp RGB (high order byte unused)

Definition:

(9 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatGDI)

PixelFormat32bppARGB

Is 32bpp ARGB, non-premultiplied alpha.

Definition:

(10 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatGDI | PixelFormatCanonical)

PixelFormat32bppPARGB

Is 32bpp ARGB, premultiplied alpha.

Definition:

(11 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatPAlpha | PixelFormatGDI)

PixelFormat48bppRGB

Is 48bpp RGB.

Definition:

(12 | (48 << 8) | PixelFormatExtended)

PixelFormat64bppARGB

Is 64bpp ARGB, non-premultiplied alpha

Definition:

(13 | (64 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha  | PixelFormatCanonical | PixelFormatExtended)

PixelFormat64bppPARGB

Is 64bpp ARGB, premultiplied alpha.

Definition:

(14 | (64 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha  | PixelFormatPAlpha | PixelFormatExtended)

PixelFormatMax

The underlying value of this macro can be used literally as the upper bound of a loop through all the other pixel formats.

Remarks

Pixel formats that support a 16-bit per color component are called extended formats.

The two 32bpp ARGB formats and the two 64bpp ARGB formats are called canonical formats.

Color values for extended pixel formats are interpreted in XsRGB linear space. Color values for other pixel formats are interpreted in sRGB space.

Alpha values are always interpreted in linear space.
