How can I get an image out of the clipboard without losing the alpha channel in .NET?

Question

I\'m trying to save a copied image from the clipboard but it\'s losing its alpha channel:

Image clipboardImage = Clipboard.GetImage();
string imagePath = Pat         


        

Answer 1

The image is being saved as a bitmap where the transparent pixels are visible on the clipboard so use this code

Bitmap clipboardImage = Clipboard.GetImage();
clipboardImage.MakeTransparent()
string imagePath = Path.GetTempFileName();
clipboardImage.Save(imagePath);
