wow, cool function! gonna try it out

about the format, my guess is that I could switch() it? if BytesPerPixel == 3 I''ll go with RGB (and hope that nobody uses "swapped" .bmp''s). and so on?..

Indeed. It was originally made to preprocess images so that blitting would occur faster (so it didn''t need to format on blit, but only once ahead of time).

I''ve had edian problems with this on my linux box, getting the Red and Blue values mixed up, which I had to swap manually...

You could use information from the link gene gave to reformat 16 bit images to a higher depth... but for the most part I don''t see why he posted that link...
