Hi Vikas I am not sure if there is any commercially free third party tool kit that provides a similar feature but the System.Drawing.dll (image.Flags property) is already included and available with Microsoft Visual Studio libraries. So to my knowledge there are no additional fees or charges to use it. You can contact Microsoft support for additional help: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/hh361695.aspx Also I found the following MSDN forum that might help: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/0d539c4d-e076-4395-b7cb-9e08a9c6e651/get-color-mode-cmyk-or-rgb-of-an-jpeg-image-?forum=csharpgeneral

Hi vikas You can check the Image.Flags property (System.Drawing.Image (in System.Drawing.dll)). This flags gives you information about the pixel data of this Image (including the image mode). You can find more details here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.image.flags%28v=vs.110%29.aspx Note that in some cases you might need to use a programming toolkit (leadtools SDK) to load Non-GDI+ supported images (like lossless JPEG some types of TIFF etc.) and then find out the image mode (RGB CMYK etc.).
