Hello! How can I make a program (c++) to edit a picture. Not an image editing software but a program that can open a .bmp, or other image file, and edit it in a preset way (flipping, rotating, copy and pasting designated areas) and then saving the new file. If this was a text file I would be able to do it, however since I don't know much about image data (how pixels are stored and organized in a file) much less how to read and save them to an array, or anything for that matter. If anyone has any information that could help teach me on how to do this I would be grateful.

Anything such as which libraries and commands to use would be great. I would even be willing to learn a new prog. language to be able to do this. Thanks so much for just reading my question, it means a lot to me :D!

Use OpenCV library. It is very fast, feature rich, open source, and has a large userbase.
