Saving a Scaled,Rotated and Translated GDI+ graphic on a Windows Form

Here is the code to save the bitmap to a new file of your choice: private void file_save_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog = new SaveFileDialog(); saveFileDialog.InitialDirectory = "K:\\Images"; saveFileDialog.Filter = "Bitmap files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|Jpeg files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|All valid files (*.bmp/*.jpg)|*.bmp/*.jpg"; saveFileDialog.FilterIndex = 2; saveFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true; if(DialogResult.OK == saveFileDialog.ShowDialog()) { main_bitmap.Save(saveFileDialog.FileName); wasSaved = true; } } If this is not what you want you just want to copy the bitmap to another bitmap then you can just use the bitmap.clone() method: Bitmap newBitmap = originalBitmap.Clone();

I'm taking a wild stab here, but you could initialize a new bitmap and draw to that bitmap instead of the form.
