Hi everybody,

When I save images using ListView, the images get smaller than the actual size. Can you please tell me how to avoid this? Here's the code I use

int i = 1;
        foreach (Image image in lvPtMedicalRecord.LargeImageList.Images)
        {
            string filename = @"filepath" + i.ToString() + ".jpg";
            lblFilePath.Text = filename;
            image.Save(filename, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            i++;
        }

Do you mean that the dimensions get smaller or that the file size gets smaller? Are you saving them with the same DPI as the original?

The file size gets smaller. First I load images into ListView and then save it. The original images are quite large. But the file size of the images I saved get smaller. I had no idea how to solve this. Please help me.

Stop using jpg to save the images, it's a lossy format that reduces the file size. On purpose.

You may want to take a look at this, which allows you to specify parameters to the encoder.

One trick, odd as it is, is to rotate the image then rotate it back before saving. For whatever reason it stops the file save from re-compressing the data.
