## Remarks
  
BMP (**B**it**m**ap **P**icture) is a standard bitmap image format used to store digital images on Microsoft Windows operating systems. BMP files range from monochrome (1 bit per pixel) to 32 bit color images. The BMP format can store both indexed and full-color images in various color depths, and optionally with data compression, and color profiles.
 
**Note** 
BMP supports only RLE compression for 4-bit and 8-bit images.
 
## Examples
  
```csharp
bitmap.Save(@"Images\Output\out.bmp", 
    new BmpSettings(CompressionType.Rle));
```
