Image problem (ImageEdit.dll)

[ExcludeReality]

I have a small problem with the ImageEdit library.
I'm not really used to working with image libraries, so my question might have a simple answer.

I have a picture (1024 x 768) which is set as background for a form (320 x 240).
I have calculated that the original image is 3,2 times bigger then it is when adjusted to the form size.

Then when I try to crop the image (Part of the right side), It "croppes" (Is that even a word?) from the original image, instead of the form image.

Therefore, I crop the wrong area (3,2 pixels wrong to be exact).

My code:

   ImageEdit.LoadImage (Form1.Image)
   ImageEdit.Crop (140,0,240,240)
   SideBar.Image = ImageEdit.GetImage ("C")

This does not work either

        Bitmap.New1 (AppPath & "\1.bmp") 'The original image
   ImageEdit.LoadImage (Bitmap.value)
   ImageEdit.Crop (140,0,240,240)
   SideBar.Image = ImageEdit.GetImage ("C")

And finally, the most mathematically correct (?)

        Bitmap.New1 (AppPath & "\1.bmp") 'The original image
   ImageEdit.LoadImage (Bitmap.value)
   ImageEdit.Crop (140 / 3.2,0,240 / 3.2,240 / 3.2) 'Split each value by 3,2
   SideBar.Image = ImageEdit.GetImage ("C")

I'm probably just too blind to see the answer

ImageEdit is probably the wrong library for this. Using ImagLib or ImageLibEx is probably better.

However

ImageEdit.Crop (140,0,240,240)
will give you a resultant image of size 100 x 240 pixels which I suspect is not what you want.

ImageEdit.Crop (0,0,239,319)
will give you 240 x 320 pixels from the top left of the image.

ImageEdit.Crop (784,448,1023,767)
will give you 240 x 320 pixels from the bottom right of the image.

Note that the displayed area of a Form on a device is actually 240 x 268 pixels.

The reason I use ImageEdit is because I will adjust the brightness of the cropped image, however that part works perfect so I excluded it from my code example.

But on the subject;
A 100 x 240 pixels rectangle IS in fact what I want.
BUT, I want to crop it from the picture that has been adjusted to the form size, not the original (1024 x 768) picture.

Why haven't you resized it first then?

   ImageEdit.LoadImage (Form1.Image)
   [COLOR="Red"]ImageEdit.Resize(320,240)[/COLOR]
   ImageEdit.Crop (140,0,240,240)
   SideBar.Image = ImageEdit.GetImage ("C")

That's a very good question

It's fixed it now,
Thanks a lot Agraham.
