File.Delete failing when Image.FromFile was called prior it, despite making copy of loaded image and destroying original one

Question

UPDATED

I used below solutions (loading Image from stream), but get new problem. img object is absolutely correct Image class instance with all fiel

Answer 1

This works fine, the downside is that it requires "unsafe" compilation.

The version when Image is loaded from stream that is killed when loading is done results in unable to save image to disc via classic GDI+

public static unsafe Image LoadImageSafe(string path)
{
    Image ret = null;
    using (Image imgTmp = Image.FromFile(path))
    {
        ret = new Bitmap(imgTmp.Width, imgTmp.Height, imgTmp.PixelFormat);
        if (imgTmp.PixelFormat == PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed)
        {
            ColorPalette pal = ret.Palette;
            for (int i = 0; i < imgTmp.Palette.Entries.Length; i++)
                pal.Entries[i] = Color.FromArgb(imgTmp.Palette.Entries[i].A,
                    imgTmp.Palette.Entries[i].R, imgTmp.Palette.Entries[i].G,
                    imgTmp.Palette.Entries[i].B);
            ret.Palette = pal;
            BitmapData bmd = ((Bitmap)ret).LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0,
                imgTmp.Width, imgTmp.Height), ImageLockMode.WriteOnly,
                PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
            BitmapData bmd2 = ((Bitmap)imgTmp).LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0,
                imgTmp.Width, imgTmp.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly,
                PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);

            Byte* pPixel = (Byte*)bmd.Scan0;
            Byte* pPixel2 = (Byte*)bmd2.Scan0;

            for (int Y = 0; Y < imgTmp.Height; Y++)
            {
                for (int X = 0; X < imgTmp.Width; X++)
                {
                    pPixel[X] = pPixel2[X];
                }
                pPixel += bmd.Stride;
                pPixel2 += bmd2.Stride;
            }

            ((Bitmap)ret).UnlockBits(bmd);
            ((Bitmap)imgTmp).UnlockBits(bmd2);
        }
        else
        {
            Graphics gdi = Graphics.FromImage(ret);
            gdi.DrawImageUnscaled(imgTmp, 0, 0);
            gdi.Dispose();
        }
        imgTmp.Dispose(); // just to make sure
    }
    return ret;
}
