I guess you can ask the NSImageView for the path of the dropped file (please see docs yourself- I m busy at the moment). With the path, you can then instantiate a new NSBitmapImageRep. I know, this is waste of memory (TWO bitmap reps of the same image), but I could not yet figure out another way. You could of course subclass NSImageView and intercept the file-drop. Then set up a NSBitmapImageRep and add it to a newly created NSImage. Supply then this image as an argument when calling [myImageViewObject setImage:newlyCreatedImage].

Thanks but how do you get the image data? Is it directly from the file?
I was trying to use the drag'n drop functionality (drag an image from the
Finder to your application image control) in order to open my image file. In
this case I already get an instantiated NSBitmapImageRep from NSImageView
and just extract its parameters. This is what gives me the 32 bits per
pixel.

Directly instantiate an NSBitmapImageRep with the image-data and call
the method. As to my experience, Cocoa will always use 8-bit RGBA to
display images in an NSImageView.

Hi Folks,

I am trying to get the real number of bits per pixel for a displayed
image.
A NSImageView object enables me to drag n' drop a bmp image from the
Finder
and display it in my app.
Then I got an NSBitmapImageRep from the NSImageView and did that:

int iBitsPerPix = [bittmapImageRep bitsPerPixel];

The result is always 32 even for grayscale 8 bits per pixel images or
24 bits
per pixel color images.

How can I get the image real number of bits per pixel of those images?

Thanks in advance,
Seb
