Hello! I found the answer by myself already. newImage.Save("C:\vip0005.tif",ImageFormat.Tiff); changed to... newImage.Save("C:\vip0005new.tif",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);

Hello! I have copied your coding into a sample coding, but it performed the following error message during the compiling. Please tell me what I am missing? Image newImage = Image.FromFile("C:\vip0005.tif"); String drawString = "Sample Text"; Font drawFont = new Font("Arial", 16); SolidBrush drawBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black); float x = 150.0F; float y = 50.0F; StringFormat drawFormat = new StringFormat(); drawFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical; Graphics g=Graphics.FromImage(newImage); g.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, x, y, drawFormat); newImage.Save("C:\vip0005.tif",ImageFormat.Tiff); The type or namespace name 'ImageFormat' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

On which line are you getting the generic gdi+ error? Is it saving or drawing? If it's saving, it might because you have the image loaded, and it might be locked, so try saving as different filename. It's really hard to know why generic gdi+ errors occur.

Image img = Image.FromFile("file.tif"); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img); g.DrawString(... lookup docs for drawstring, many different ways...) img.Save("file.tif", ImageFormat.Tiff);
