Hi guys, I'm trying to set a color of given pixel of the image. Here is the code snippet

Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(@"c:\file.bmp");

        for (int Xcount = 0; Xcount < myBitmap.Width; Xcount++)
        {
            for (int Ycount = 0; Ycount < myBitmap.Height; Ycount++)
            {
                myBitmap.SetPixel(Xcount, Ycount, Color.Black);
            }
        }

Every time I get the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: SetPixel is not supported for images with indexed pixel formats.

The exception is thrown both for bmp and jpg files.

I have no idea what is wrong.

Thank you in advance for the reply!

Cheers.
