# PixelFormatConverter.ConvertArray Method (Int32[,], PixelFormat)
 
Converts several colors into another pixel format. These colors are represented by array. Color management is not applied.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Function ConvertArray ( _array As Integer(,,), _format As PixelFormat _
) As Integer(,,)
```
 
```csharp
public int[,,] ConvertArray(int[,,] array,PixelFormat format
)
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - array
     - Type:  [System.Int32](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/td2s409d) [,]
 
Array of image pixels should have the following format: first dimension is bitmap columns, second dimension is a bitmap rows, third dimension is a pixels channels. Array with this format is returned from [Export()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Bitmap_Export.htm.md) method of [Bitmap](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Bitmap.htm.md) and [BitmapData](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData.htm.md).
 
**Note** 
Array channel number (third dimension) must conform pixel format specified by *format* argument.

 - format
     - Type: [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.PixelFormat](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_PixelFormat.htm.md)
 [PixelFormat](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_PixelFormat.htm.md) value that describes pixel format for the pixels in the specified array.
 
### Return Value
An array of integers in the same format as input *array*. Pixel format that describes an order of channels is stored at [DestinationPixelFormat](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_DestinationPixelFormat.htm.md) property.
 
## Remarks
  
The destination pixel format is specified by [DestinationPixelFormat](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_DestinationPixelFormat.htm.md) property.
 
If you need to apply color management during conversion, you should use [an overload which takes a color profile as an argument](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_ConvertArray_5_8e1aa601.htm.md).
