Hi Sebastian,<div><br></div><div>You are using a plain filename (instead of a full path)</div><div>to point to your image:</div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">        </span>reader-&gt;SetFileName(&quot;input.png&quot;);</div>

<div>that you build with Visual Studio.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You may want to try one of these tree options:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1) Use a full path to point to your image,</div><div>     something like:</div>
<div><br></div><div>               C:\MyImages\input.png</div><div>   </div><div>or</div><div> </div><div>2) Copy the image to where the executable is</div><div><br></div><div>or</div><div><br></div><div>3) Copy the executable to where the image is</div>

Hi!<div><br></div><div>I am having problems getting the ImageFileReader and ImageFileWriter to work. I just want to read a PNG File, apply a filter and write it back to the harddrive. I found out that there is a problem in 4.1 with the ImageIOFactory registration, so i register the PNGFactory manually. The .png file is in the same folder as the executable. Here is my Code:</div>
