I have a Hex string that's coming from postscript file.
This Hex string is for the image - for which I need to modify RGB color values.
After modifying color values, I need to write the image back as Hex string in postscript file.
Below are the methods that I am using. All these methods are working fine including `UpdateColour(bitmapImage)`. I have confirmed it through debugging.
**Issue:**
Even though the color for all image pixels are changed:
bitmapImage.GetPixel(0,0) "{Name=50ffc8ff, ARGB=(80, 255, 200, 255)}" - BEFORE UpdateColor()
bitmapImage.GetPixel(0,0) "{Name=ff00ffff, ARGB=(255, 0, 255, 255)}" - AFTER UpdateColor()
If I compare the two hex strings:
`imageDataSource` and `imageDataSourceUpdated`, they are same :-(
Shouldn't they be different after I have modified underlying bitmap color values?
Can please guide what I am missing here.
