Figure 3-3. Primary Components of an 32-bit Color Image

Figure 3-4. Primary Components of a 64-bit Color Image

A color pixel encoded as a Long value can bedecomposed into its individual components using CWIMAQVision.IntegerToColorValue. You can convert a pixel value represented in any color model into its components in any other color model using

CWIMAQVision.ColorValueConversion2.
