exporting imagedata

[The Burrito]

So I'm trying to grab imagedata out of love and get it into a use able format. I can get it to save the data as a file:

Code: Select all

screenshot = love.graphics.newScreenshot( )
		love.filesystem.write( "screenshot", screenshot:getString( ))

but from there I'm not really sure how to import it into an image editor because I don't know the details of love's imagedata. I would assume its 8 bit 4 channel but is there any kind of file header or anything? everything I try spits out garbage, but its clearly the screenshot I took.


EDIT: OK, I can get a clean image out of it now (4 channel 8 bit Interleaved) but the coloration and contrast are off, I have no idea why that would happen though.

Use love.image.newEncodedImageData and love.filesystem.write.

Basically:

Code: Select all

screenshot = love.image.newEncodedImageData(love.graphics.newScreenshot(), "bmp")
love.filesystem.write("screenshot.bmp", screenshot)
