    Question Output of image files

    Hello hello I'm totally jammed with images, mainly jpeg/jpg and I hope you understand what I try to explain now
    I've been trying to read a should-be-simple jpg of pixel size of 1x1 and same sized 16-colored bmp image. I made that pixel white (255, 255, 255) but can't read nor output it (I use dos).
    I just get weird values with fread().

    It seems, size 1x1 makes the file size 122 and 2x2 655 bytes if that has something to do with it?

    Shortly said I want to read header and pixels of the file and output the pixels with right colors on dos screen.

    Have you looked over the file format specifications for these file types so you know where abouts in the file the pixel data is?

    No JPEG has to do with the amount of similar color 'areas' there are in the image. Go to www.wotsit.org to look up the JPG format. It's rather complex.
