Determine if Alpha Channel is Used in an Image

Question

As I\'m bringing in images into my program, I want to determine if:

1. they have an alpha-channel
2. if that alpha-channel is used

#1

Answer 1

I get a more advanced solution, based on ChrisF answer:

public bool IsImageTransparent(Bitmap image,string optionalBgColorGhost)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < image.Width; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 0; j < image.Height; j++)
            {
                var pixel = image.GetPixel(i, j);
                if (pixel.A != 255)
                    return true;
            }
        }

        //Check 4 corners to check if all of them are with the same color!
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(optionalBgColorGhost))
        {
            if (image.GetPixel(0, 0).ToArgb() == GetColorFromString(optionalBgColorGhost).ToArgb())
            {
                if (image.GetPixel(image.Width - 1, 0).ToArgb() == GetColorFromString(optionalBgColorGhost).ToArgb())
                {
                    if (image.GetPixel(0, image.Height - 1).ToArgb() ==
                        GetColorFromString(optionalBgColorGhost).ToArgb())
                    {
                        if (image.GetPixel(image.Width - 1, image.Height - 1).ToArgb() ==
                            GetColorFromString(optionalBgColorGhost).ToArgb())
                        {
                            return true;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return false;
    }

    public static Color GetColorFromString(string colorHex)
    {
        return ColorTranslator.FromHtml(colorHex);
    }

It has a optional bg color string to non transparent images:

Example of usage:

IsImageTransparent(new Bitmap(myImg),"#FFFFFF");
