save a image from CameraCaptureUI to a folder

i need to save the picture getting from the camera in a specific folder but i can't find the way, i онли show it in the xaml.
class CameraOpening{
public async Task<SoftwareBitmapSource> PhotoTake(){
var captureUI = new CameraCaptureUI();
captureUI.PhotoSettings.Format = CameraCaptureUIPhotoFormat.Jpeg;
captureUI.PhotoSettings.AllowCropping = false;
var photo = await captureUI.CaptureFileAsync(CameraCaptureUIMode.Photo);
var bitmapSource = new SoftwareBitmapSource();
if (photo != null){
var folder = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFolderAsync(
"ProfilePhotoFolder", CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
await photo.CopyAsync(folder,"ProfilePhoto.jpg",NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
using (var stream = await photo.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read)){
var decoder = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(stream);
var softwareBitmap = await decoder.GetSoftwareBitmapAsync();
var softwareBitmapBGR8 = SoftwareBitmap.Convert(
softwareBitmap, BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8, BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied);
await bitmapSource.SetBitmapAsync(softwareBitmapBGR8);}
await photo.DeleteAsync();}
return bitmapSource;}}
public async void Buttonfoto(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var cam = new CameraOpening();
imageControl.Source = await cam.PhotoTake();
}
and the xaml has the Image and the Button
there is a way for save the picture taken in a specific directory?
or a copy of it.

Lines:
var folder = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFolderAsync("ProfilePhotoFolder", CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
await photo.CopyAsync(folder, "ProfilePhoto.jpg", NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
already seems to be saving your photo to path ./ProfilePhotoFolder/ProfilePhoto.jpg.
But it will save only if picture was actually taken.
var photo = await captureUI.CaptureFileAsync(CameraCaptureUIMode.Photo);
// < ... >
if (photo != null) { /* save file! */ }
Check what captureUI.CaptureFileAsync actually returns.
If it's null - nothing will happen.
But if your photo is being taken and already saving itself to ./ProfilePhotoFolder/ProfilePhoto.jpg you can save it again via:
await photo.CopyAsync(folder, "C:\\SomeFolder\\MyPhoto.jpg", NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
Or copy already created picture via:
File.Copy(".\\ProfilePhotoFolder\\ProfilePhoto.jpg", "C:\\SomeFolder\\MyPhoto.jpg");
More info here:
System.IO and System.IO.File

C# UWP Camera Cannot find the file specified

I'm trying to get this mini app to save the photo taken by the camera but I get this error.System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)'
I followed the Microsoft Tutorial but cant get it to work.
private async void btnTakePhoto_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
CameraCaptureUI captureUI = new CameraCaptureUI();
captureUI.PhotoSettings.Format = CameraCaptureUIPhotoFormat.Jpeg;
captureUI.PhotoSettings.CroppedSizeInPixels = new Size(200, 200);
//StorageFile photo = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/mypic.jpg"));
StorageFile photo = await captureUI.CaptureFileAsync(CameraCaptureUIMode.Photo);
if (photo == null)
{
// User cancelled photo capture
return;
}
StorageFolder destinationFolder =
await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFolderAsync("ProfilePhotoFolder",
CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
await photo.CopyAsync(destinationFolder, "ProfilePhoto.jpg", NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
await photo.DeleteAsync();
IRandomAccessStream stream = await photo.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read);
BitmapDecoder decoder = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(stream);
SoftwareBitmap softwareBitmap = await decoder.GetSoftwareBitmapAsync();
SoftwareBitmap softwareBitmapBGR8 = SoftwareBitmap.Convert(softwareBitmap,
BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8,
BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied);
SoftwareBitmapSource bitmapSource = new SoftwareBitmapSource();
await bitmapSource.SetBitmapAsync(softwareBitmapBGR8);
imageControl.Source = bitmapSource;
}

From the above mentioned code snippet remove the line that I have written below.
await photo.DeleteAsync();
After removing the line it works fine.

Image source to writeablebitmap in windows phone 8.1

I'm working on windows phone 8.1 application. I have different pictures locally in app and displaying those pictures in list view. Now select one picture id and pass it to detail screen, where I have to save that file .
My detail.Xaml screen contain image control named as Imaged.
I got image on detail page and press image save button. I'm using this Sample app https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Save-Edited-Picture-16d910c4/sourcecode?fileId=119937&pathId=946309183 "Sample"
My detail page Code is here.
string tempimg;
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
var imagePath = e.Parameter as string;
imaged.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(imagePath, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
tempimg = imagePath;
}
My SaveImage button code is here.
if (tempimg == null)
return;
// WriteableBitmap abc = new WriteableBitmap(400, 400);
string filename = "Image-" + DateTime.Now.ToFileTime() + ".jpeg";
// await SaveWriteableBitmapAsJpeg(img, filename);
Blockquote
await SaveWriteableBitmapAsJpeg(tempimg, filename);
private static async Task SaveWriteableBitmapAsJpeg(WriteableBitmap bmp, string fileName)
{
// Create file in Pictures library and write jpeg to it
var outputFile = await KnownFolders.CameraRoll.CreateFileAsync(fileName, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
using (var writeStream = await outputFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
{
await EncodeWriteableBitmap(bmp, writeStream, BitmapEncoder.JpegEncoderId);
}
}
private static async Task EncodeWriteableBitmap(WriteableBitmap bmp, IRandomAccessStream writeStream, Guid encoderId)
{
// Copy buffer to pixels
byte[] pixels;
using (var stream = bmp.PixelBuffer.AsStream())
{
pixels = new byte[(uint)stream.Length];
await stream.ReadAsync(pixels, 0, pixels.Length);
}
// Encode pixels into stream
var encoder = await BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(encoderId, writeStream);
encoder.SetPixelData(BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8, BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied,
(uint)bmp.PixelWidth, (uint)bmp.PixelHeight,
96, 96, pixels);
await encoder.FlushAsync();
}
My this function "await SaveWriteableBitmapAsJpeg(tempimg, filename);" creates a problem. I just have the image source while that require the writeablebitmap. I just want to save image and not able to proceed from here. let me know the exact solution or problem.

Windows 8 - Save Image in XAML as local file ( inside Application folder )

In my Windows store application, i am displaying a picture using Image control in XAML. Source of the Image control is set, code wise using WriteableBitmap. I am trying to send this image as attachment in email. Is there any easy way for that? I am trying to save that image locally( within application ) and attach that saved image to email. But not able to save locally. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the code.
bitmap = await WriteableBitmapRenderExtensions.Render(dataCanvas);
image.Source = bitmap;
dataCanvas is a Canvas control consists of two images, one place above another. Actually i have to place a sunglass top of users face and display it as another image in xaml. Also email that image.

Check out the WriteableBitmapSaveExtensions class in WinRT XAML Toolkit for all the SaveToFile() extension methods you can use to save your WriteableBitmap.
The core one is this:
public static async Task SaveToFile(
this WriteableBitmap writeableBitmap,
StorageFile outputFile,
Guid encoderId)
{
Stream stream = writeableBitmap.PixelBuffer.AsStream();
byte[] pixels = new byte[(uint)stream.Length];
await stream.ReadAsync(pixels, 0, pixels.Length);
using (var writeStream = await outputFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
{
var encoder = await BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(encoderId, writeStream);
encoder.SetPixelData(
BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8,
BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied,
(uint)writeableBitmap.PixelWidth,
(uint)writeableBitmap.PixelHeight,
96,
96,
pixels);
await encoder.FlushAsync();
using (var outputStream = writeStream.GetOutputStreamAt(0))
{
await outputStream.FlushAsync();
}
}
}
You can get the encoder ID using an overload of the method:
public static async Task<StorageFile> SaveToFile(
this WriteableBitmap writeableBitmap,
StorageFolder storageFolder,
string fileName,
CreationCollisionOption options = CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting)
{
StorageFile outputFile =
await storageFolder.CreateFileAsync(
fileName,
options);
Guid encoderId;
var ext = Path.GetExtension(fileName);
if (new[] { ".bmp", ".dib" }.Contains(ext))
{
encoderId = BitmapEncoder.BmpEncoderId;
}
else if (new[] { ".tiff", ".tif" }.Contains(ext))
{
encoderId = BitmapEncoder.TiffEncoderId;
}
else if (new[] { ".gif" }.Contains(ext))
{
encoderId = BitmapEncoder.GifEncoderId;
}
else if (new[] { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".jpe", ".jfif", ".jif" }.Contains(ext))
{
encoderId = BitmapEncoder.JpegEncoderId;
}
else if (new[] { ".hdp", ".jxr", ".wdp" }.Contains(ext))
{
encoderId = BitmapEncoder.JpegXREncoderId;
}
else //if (new [] {".png"}.Contains(ext))
{
encoderId = BitmapEncoder.PngEncoderId;
}
await writeableBitmap.SaveToFile(outputFile, encoderId);
return outputFile;
}

Any subclass of BitmapSource (including WritableBitmap) can be passed to a BitmapEncoder. A BitmapEncoder takes a Stream to which the encoded JPEG, PNG or other image is written.
You can then use a mailer library to reference the stream used by the encoder, or use the Share contract, and pass the stream directly.
Example:
var bitmap = new WritableBitmap();
// ... draw your bitmap
var tempPath = // path to where you want to save (probably in your appx temp);
var encoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
encoder.Frames.Add(bitmap);
using (var fs = new FileStream(tempPath))
{
encoder.Save(fs);
}
// use the image saved to tempPath

how to save MemoryStream to JPEG in Windows 8 c#

I see solution for this problem:
Saving as jpeg from memorystream in c#
but it does not work in winRT.
Is there a simple way to save MemoryStream as JPEG using FileSavePicker?
I tried:
private async void Save_Image(MemoryStream image)
{
// Launch file picker
FileSavePicker picker = new FileSavePicker();
picker.FileTypeChoices.Add("JPeg", new List<string>() { ".jpg", ".jpeg" });
StorageFile file = await picker.PickSaveFileAsync();
if (file == null)
return;
Stream x = await file.OpenStreamForWriteAsync();
image.WriteTo(x)
}
but it is saving blank file. May be I am doing something wrong.
Tried one more approach but again blank image:
private async void Save_Image(MemoryStream image)
{
// Launch file picker
FileSavePicker picker = new FileSavePicker();
picker.FileTypeChoices.Add("JPeg", new List<string>() { ".jpg", ".jpeg" });
StorageFile file = await picker.PickSaveFileAsync();
if (file == null)
return;
int end = (int)image.Length;
byte[] buffer = new byte[end];
await image.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, end);
await FileIO.WriteBytesAsync(file, buffer);
}

Got it! It was the seeking position I was missing and also the "using". Had to set it externally to 0.
Here is the code:
private async void Save_Image(MemoryStream image)
{
// Launch file picker
FileSavePicker picker = new FileSavePicker();
picker.FileTypeChoices.Add("JPeg", new List<string>() { ".jpg", ".jpeg" });
StorageFile file = await picker.PickSaveFileAsync();
if (file == null)
return;
using (Stream x = await file.OpenStreamForWriteAsync())
{
x.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
image.WriteTo(x);
}
}
