Looks like a good site. I don't think I'll need it though. Loading the image in is dead easy, I just use the built-in picturebox control in VB (which allows you to load BMP, JPEG or GIF). It took me a while to work out how to get the actual data of of the picturebox once it was loaded, took a few API calls.

The manipulation of the image that is required is fairly straight forward because my app requires the user to provide a 128x32 bitmap. All that I need to do then is reduce the colours if there are two many and optionally reverse the palette.
