Image.SetResolution results in A generic error occurred in GDI+

Question

Hello!

For some reason if I call on a 600 dpi image:

myImage.SetResolution(72, 72)

It gives me "A generic error occurred in GDI+".

Moreover, if I try to create a new 72 dpi bitmap, create graphics object from that and use DrawImage to draw original 600 dpi image in the graphics object created from the new bitmap, I also get this error.

Can someone explain, please, what is going on?

Thanks.

I don't have the reputation yet to post comments, but do you get the same error running this code:

Imports System.Drawing

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim oBitmap As Bitmap

        oBitmap = CType(Image.FromFile("c:\test.tif"), Bitmap)

        oBitmap.SetResolution(72, 72)

        oBitmap.Save("c:\test output.tif")

        oBitmap.Dispose()

    End Sub

End Class
