A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration.
Remarks

Example
Converts selected image to an 8-bit gray-scaled indexed color image, and saves result into a TIF file. 
using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())

{

    // Open an image file. An empty string allows the control to prompt for selecting a file.

    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("");

 

    gdpictureImaging.ConvertTo8BppGrayScale(imageID);

    gdpictureImaging.SaveAsTIFF(imageID, "output.tif", TiffCompression.TiffCompressionAUTO);

 

    // Release used resources.

    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);

}
