Saving images / pixmaps

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Saving images / pixmaps

i always use pixmaps when loading images.

I found in earlier versions of BMX if you tried to load a large image file as an image type it would error, yet when loading the same image file into a pixmap it would work.
Must something to do with the way it stores images elsewhere in mem.

(also loading into pixmap staright away allows me to edit the image)
