Remarks

This method is not suitable for saving images, as it saves the contents of the ImageDocument object in a format not suitable for viewing. It is designed for situations when it is not possible to use the IImageDocument::SaveTo method which saves the object’s contents into a folder on disk. To save an image in a format suitable for viewing, use the IImage::WriteToFile method.
