I think you're making it too complex as you're mixing pixmaps and images.
When you lock an image it automatically returns a pixmap.
You can readpixel/writepixel from/to this pixmap as you would have done an image buffer.
When you unlock the image the pixmap is deleted and the image is updated.
I can try this later if I have time but pseudo code would be...
Load image
My_pixmap:TPixmap = lock(image)
readpixel(my_pixmap)
Change RGB
writepixel(my_pixmap)
unlock(image)
drawimage(image)
.
If you also want to do composite sprites you can...
Loadimage(image1)
loadimage(image2)
cls
drawimage image1
drawimage image2
grabimage image3)
cls
drawimage image3
flip
.
If you want to make an image from a pixmap you simply...
image4:TImage = loadimage(my_pixmap:TPixmap)
Hope it helps
P.S. What you can't do is write two (or more) images to the same pixmap (hence the need to grabimage).
