I also had once this problem- it happens because the bitmap locks and you can't save it( if you want I can find the exact explanation) so anyway a fix around is this: Create a new bitmap the size of the original bitmap you have- copy the original bitmap to the new created bitmap and then dispose the original bitmap and save the new one.

Bitmap bm3 = new Bitmap(bm2);

And then save.
