As the title says. It seems that Avalonia Bitmap requires file path, so the only solution that comes to my mind is saving image, and then displaying it. But it's not exactly what I want to do, I would want to directly display the image from memory.
public void ReadAndDisplayImage()
{
ReadWrite rw = new ReadWrite();
var image = rw.ReadImage(ImagePath); //ImageSharp Image
SelectedImage = new Avalonia.Media.Imaging.Bitmap(ImagePath); //constructor accepts only string, unable to display ImageSharp Image directly
}
In this case here displaying from path is fully acceptable, but later I will need to display it without saving.
You can save the Image's data into a memory stream and pass it in to Avalonia's Bitmap.
public void ReadAndDisplayImage()
{
ReadWrite rw = new ReadWrite();
var image = rw.ReadImage(ImagePath);
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
image.Save(ms,PngFormat.Instance);
SelectedImage = new Avalonia.Media.Imaging.Bitmap(ms);
}
}

im trying to make simple photo editor (for adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation etc...) in WPF and im using the Magick.NET which contains ToByteArray method but the problem is i can't make ByteArray with this method because i'm getting exception because it doesn't wanna make ByteArray from NEF format for some reason...
My first idea, was to take the NEF format convert it to temporary TIFF File which can be converted with this specific method to ByteArray and that file can be converted to bytearray, but i think is very inconvenient and not much smart.
Second thing is when i have the WritableBitmap. How can i make the image from it for Magick.NET to edit it? Should i make another MagickImage Instance which is created with already created ByteArray and edit that image?
public void ImageSelectBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();
if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true)
{
using (var imageRaw = new MagickImage(dialog.FileName))
{
imageRaw.Write("D:/Coding/C#/New/SoftlightWPF/SoftlightWPF/Resources/temp.tiff");
MagickImage image = new MagickImage();
image = new MagickImage("D:/Coding/C#/New/SoftlightWPF/SoftlightWPF/Resources/temp.tiff");
byte[] ImageBytes = image.ToByteArray();
Render(ImageBytes);
}
}
}
private void Render(byte[] BytesData)
{
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(BytesData))
{
BitmapImage ImageBitmapSource = new BitmapImage(); //Image
ImageBitmapSource.BeginInit();
ImageBitmapSource.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
ImageBitmapSource.StreamSource = ms;
ImageBitmapSource.EndInit();
WriteableBitmap ImageWritableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap(ImageBitmapSource);
this.ImageField.Source = ImageWritableBitmap;
}
}
There is already a library that can help you with this: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Magick.NET.SystemWindowsMedia/. Add it to your project and then do image.ToBitmapSource() instead.
I serialize images using the following code:
public static string SerializeImage(Image image)
{
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
image.Save(memoryStream, image.RawFormat);
return Convert.ToBase64String(memoryStream.ToArray());
}
}
and deserialize the images by doing the following
public static Image DeserializeImage(string serializedImage)
{
byte[] imageAsBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(serializedImage);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.Length))
{
memoryStream.Write(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.Length);
return Image.FromStream(memoryStream, true);
}
}
If I have an image and does
string serializedImage1 = SerializeImage(image);
Image deserializedImage = DeserializeImage(serializedImage1);
string serializedImage2 = SerializeImage(deserializedImage );
Then
serializedImage1 == serializedImage2;
as expected. But it is not always the case.
If I serialize an image on Process 1, and then redeserialize and reserialize it on Process 2, then the result of the reserialization on Process 2 is not the same as on the Process 1. Everything works, but a few bytes in the beginning of the serialization are different.
Worst, if I do the same thing on 2 different dll (or thread, I'm not sure), it seems the serialization result is not the same too. Again, the serialization/deserialization works, but a few bytes are different.
The image the first time is loaded with the following function :
public static Image GetImageFromFilePath(string filePath)
{
var uri = new Uri(filePath);
var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(uri);
bitmapImage.Freeze();
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
var pngBitmapEncoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
pngBitmapEncoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bitmapImage));
pngBitmapEncoder.Save(memoryStream);
Image image = Image.FromStream(memoryStream);
return image;
}
}
Note however that it happens even if the image is loaded twice with the DeserializeImage() function.
The tests I have done are with ImageFormat.Jpeg and ImageFormat.Png.
First question, why it does this ? I would have expected the result to be always the same, but I suppose some salt is used when doing the Image.Save().
Second question : I want to have a deterministic way to serialize an image, keeping the image format intact. The goal is to save the image in a DB and also to compare serialized images to know if it already exists in the system where this function is used.
Well, I discovered while trying to solve this that a png or jpeg Image object inside C# has some metadata associated to it and doing what I was doing is just not a reliable way to compare images.
The solution I used was derived from this link
https://insertcode.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/compare-content-of-two-files-images-in-c/
So what I do finally is save the images inside the system with the SerializeImage(Image image) function previously described, and when I want to consume it I deserialize it with the DeserializeImage(string serializedImage) function previously described. But when I want to compare images I use the following functions
public static bool ImagesAreEqual(Image image1, Image image2)
{
string image1Base64Bitmap = GetImageAsBase64Bitmap(image1);
string image2Base64Bitmap = GetImageAsBase64Bitmap(image2);
return image1Base64Bitmap.Equals(image2Base64Bitmap);
}
public static string GetImageAsBase64Bitmap(Image image)
{
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(image))
{
bitmap.Save(memoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(memoryStream.ToArray());
}
}
That convert the image to raw bitmap before comparing them.
This does a perfect job for me in all my needed cases : the formats of the images are saved/restored correctly, and I can compare them between them to check if they are the same without having to bother with the possibly different serialization.
I need to convert a JPG image to PNG and change its white background to transparent instead. I am using ImageMagick.NET and I have found the following ImageMagick command that is supposed to do what I am trying to achieve:
convert image.jpg -fuzz XX% -transparent white result.png
I have tried converting this to c# but all I am getting is a png image with a white background. My code snippet:
using (var img = new MagickImage("image.jpg"))
{
img.Format = MagickFormat.Png;
img.BackgroundColor = MagickColors.White;
img.ColorFuzz = new Percentage(10);
img.BackgroundColor = MagickColors.None;
img.Write("image.png");
}
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
This is a late response as it took me a while to find an answer myself, but this seems to work for me quite well. Look at where the Background property is assigned the Transparent value.
using (var magicImage = new MagickImage())
{
var magicReadSettings = new MagickReadSettings
{
Format = MagickFormat.Svg,
ColorSpace = ColorSpace.Transparent,
BackgroundColor = MagickColors.Transparent,
// increasing the Density here makes a larger and sharper output to PNG
Density = new Density(950, DensityUnit.PixelsPerInch)
};
magicImage.Read("someimage.svg", magicReadSettings);
magicImage.Format = MagickFormat.Png;
magicImage.Write("someimage.png");
}
In my case, I wanted to send this to UWP Image element, so instead of Write(), I did the following after the steps above:
// Create byte array that contains a png file
byte[] imageData = magicImage.ToByteArray();
using (InMemoryRandomAccessStream stream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream())
{
using (DataWriter writer = new DataWriter(stream.GetOutputStreamAt(0)))
{
writer.WriteBytes(imageData);
await writer.StoreAsync();
}
await bitmapImage.SetSourceAsync(stream);
}
return bitMapImage; // new BitMapImage() was scoped before all of this
Then on the UWP Image element, simply use:
imageElement.Source = bitMapImage;
Most of the arguments on the command line are either properties or method on the MagickImage class. Your command would translate to this:
using (var img = new MagickImage("image.jpg"))
{
// -fuzz XX%
img.ColorFuzz = new Percentage(10);
// -transparent white
img.Transparent(MagickColors.White);
img.Write("image.png");
}
I have some code to convert an image, which is working now, but the width of the image that is generated is really small. I would like to force it to use a width of 600px.
My code looks like this:
public async Task<string> ConvertImage(byte[] data)
{
// Create our settings
var settings = new MagickReadSettings
{
Width = 600
};
// Create our image
using (var image = new MagickImage(data, settings))
{
// Create a new memory stream
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
// Set to a png
image.Format = MagickFormat.Png;
image.Write(memoryStream);
memoryStream.Position = 0;
// Create a new blob block to hold our image
var blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".png");
// Upload to azure
await blockBlob.UploadFromStreamAsync(memoryStream);
// Return the blobs url
return blockBlob.StorageUri.PrimaryUri.ToString();
}
}
}
The image I have uploaded is an AI file, but when it gets converted it is only 64px wide.
Does anyone know why and how I can fix it?
With the current version of Magick.NET this is the expected behavior. But after seeing your post we made some changes to ImageMagick/Magick.NET. With Magick.NET 7.0.0.0103 and higher you will get an image that fits inside the bounds that you specify with Width and Height. So when you specify a Width of 600 you will get an image that is 600 pixels wide.
So I collect a varbinary(MAX) value from a database where an image is stored.
It gets converted to byte[], then the aim is to display this in an image control.
This is where I read from the database
public TemplateData(SqlDataReader dr)
{
initialiseData();
if (dr.HasRows)
{
Logo = (byte[])dr["Logo"];
//Logo = dr["Logo"].ToString();
TemplateId = dr["TemplateId"].ToString();
Comment = dr["Comment"].ToString();
SchemeCode = dr["SchemeCode"].ToString();
Version = dr["Version"].ToString();
}
}
This is where the values are displayed into the corresponding controls
protected void ddSchemeCode_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (ddSchemeCode.SelectedIndex > 0)
{
// Existing Data to load from database
TemplateData temp = DataClass.ReturnData(ddSchemeCode.SelectedItem.Text);
if (temp != null)
{
txtVersion.Text = temp.Version;
txtComment.Text = temp.Comment;
txtSchemeCode.Text = temp.SchemeCode;
txtTemplateId.Text = temp.TemplateId;
img.Src = temp.Logo;
}
So at the moment I am passing a byte[] into the source of an image control, where it would instead like a string. I've tried converting it to a string with Convert.ToBase64String(Logo) and ToString(Logo) but these do not work.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers guys and gals.
Try converting the byte array to image and assign it to picturebox as below,
try
{
using (MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream())
{
// where pData is your byte array
mStream.Write(pData, 0, Convert.ToInt32(pData.Length));
Image originalImage = Image.FromStream(mStream);
picBox.Image = originalImage;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
Hope it helps.
As you may have noticed, you cannot "print" an image in a webpage. You need to get a little bit creative now.
What you want to look into is Response.BinaryWrite. More information about that, here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpresponse.binarywrite%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
You will probably also need a generic ashx handler. Here is an example of how to show a picture using a handler: http://www.dotnetperls.com/ashx
My suggestion would be to store the logo as a byte[] into the http session. Put the source of the image to theHttpHandlerYourGonnaCreate.ashx. You can then binary write the byte[] you've stored into the session there.
Hope this helps!
As Michael shows here, you can convert the byte array to a Bitmap object with something like this:
Bitmap bitmap = null;
using (MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream(imageData))
{
bitmap = new Bitmap(imageStream);
}
It isn't entirely clear what you're using for a control to show the image, but any control that can display an image should be able to take a Bitmap or Image object.
