Microsoft Windows Media Photo is a new codec that provides better image fidelity than JPEG with smaller file sizes and more features. Windows Media Photo images achieve lossy and lossless compression by using a single algorithm. Windows Media Photo images support existing metadata standards. For additional information about this format, see the Windows Media Photo Specification.
The following examples show how to decode and encode a Microsoft Windows Media Photo image using the specific WmpBitmapDecoder and WmpBitmapEncoder objects. For the complete sample, see WDP Encoder and Decoder Sample.
This example demonstrates how to decode a Windows Media Photo image using a WmpBitmapDecoder from a Uri.
' Open a Stream and decode a WDP image
Dim imageStreamSource As New FileStream("tulipfarm.wdp", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
Dim decoder As New WmpBitmapDecoder(imageStreamSource, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default)
Dim bitmapSource As BitmapSource = decoder.Frames(0)
' Draw the Image
Dim myImage As New Image()
myImage.Source = bitmapSource
myImage.Stretch = Stretch.None
myImage.Margin = New Thickness(20)
// Open a Stream and decode a WDP image
Stream imageStreamSource = new FileStream("tulipfarm.wdp", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
WmpBitmapDecoder decoder = new WmpBitmapDecoder(imageStreamSource, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
BitmapSource bitmapSource = decoder.Frames[0];
// Draw the Image
Image myImage = new Image();
myImage.Source = bitmapSource;
myImage.Stretch = Stretch.None;
myImage.Margin = new Thickness(20);
// Open a Stream and decode a WDP image
Stream^ imageStreamSource = gcnew FileStream("tulipfarm.wdp", FileMode::Open, FileAccess::Read, FileShare::Read);
WmpBitmapDecoder^ decoder = gcnew WmpBitmapDecoder(imageStreamSource, BitmapCreateOptions::PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption::Default);
BitmapSource^ bitmapSource = decoder->Frames[0];
// Draw the Image
Image^ myImage = gcnew Image();
myImage->Source = bitmapSource;
myImage->Stretch = Stretch::None;
myImage->Margin = System::Windows::Thickness(20);
This example demonstrates how to encode a BitmapSource into a Windows Media Photo image using a WmpBitmapEncoder.
