Convert BMP to JPG

[cagespear]

I am currently generating a BMP file by capturing screenshot of the current active window. Any ideas how to convert it to JPG format in order to make its size small. We are Ok with some loss occuring in image quality after the conversion. Thanks Cagespear

You may use GDI+ Image class to save it as JPEG file [^]. :)

#include <atlimage.h>
...
CImage CapturedBitmap;
CapturedBitmap.Create(width, height, 24);

HDC BitmapDC = CapturedBitmap.GetDC();

...blt the window/screen pixels to BitmapDC ...

CapturedBitmap.ReleaseDC();

CapturedBitmap.Save(_T("c:\\myjpeg.jpg"), ImageFormatJPEG);

If you handle of it you can use of CImage m_Image; m_Image.Attach(hbitmap); m_Image.Save("c:\\1.jpg");
