After applying CCITT compression on my Tiff File, it produces an image with a solid black background

Question

Creating tiff file, with LZW compression (default):-

System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(800, 1000); 
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitma         


        

Answer 1

Edit your code as such, and you will be able to use your desired compression without the black background fill:

System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(800, 1000); 
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);
/* Add this */ g.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, new Rectangle(0,0, 800, 1000));
g.DrawString("Name: " + Name.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 20));
g.DrawString("Date Of Birth: " + Date_Of_Birth.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 40));
g.DrawString("Address: " + Address.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 60));
g.DrawString("City: " + City.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 80));
g.DrawString("State: " + State.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 100));
g.DrawString("Zip Code: " + Zip_Code.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 120));
g.DrawString("Phone: " + Phone.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 140));
g.DrawString(" ID: " + ID.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 160));
fileName = saveDirectory + id + ".tif";
bitmap.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Tiff);
