Well that's embarrassing ... you are correct. I need to convert from
'bgr' to 'rgb'
Thanks to all others for suggestions
FWIW, I realized the the C.types string buffer is/was mutable so
settled on this;
for start in xrange(0, ctypes.sizeof(buffer), 3):
if buffer[start] != buffer[start+2]:
#only need to swap the bits if they are different. ie if
both are white or black, no change is required.
blue, red = buffer[start], buffer[start+2]
buffer[start], buffer[start+2] = red, blue
This was about 30-40% faster that converting to list, processing and
then converting back again.
Will try the array module too
... but I think I need to find a new graphic package rather that makes
working with the bits easier.
