My mistake, for some reason I thought the OP wanted to read a BMP file directly, and the code I cited shows the guts of writing out a BMP file so he might get an idea about the file's structure - to address the OP's actual question, I would second the recommendation to use PIL to read, manipulate, and write back out the pixel values. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
