Imaging prg

Hello!
Does anyone know where i can get any tutorial on writing an imaging program. Basically i'm developing a program which will display an image from the hard disk. Does anyone know of any good sources?

Thanks,
sidideas :)

1. Learn how to program.
2. Learn a programming language.
3. Learn the API's provided by your implementation.

Once you've done that, you then
- write a specification (basically a list of "what" you want your program to do).
- write a design (basically, that is "how" you're going to turn your specification into code).

1. MS Paint.
2. Paint Shop Pro 1-11
3. PhotoShop 1-?

Here you will find some descriptions of graphic file formats.

There is some example code included with the descriptions.
