so i need some direction in c++ for grabbing a jpg file sending it to a text file that i can edit to manipulate pixels and send back to a jpg... i have been googling for some time and im having a hard time...

just some direction will do.. cuz i am stumped...

thank you

You'd better moved this to C++ section ...
Anyway, a JPG is a binary file ... so, you open it with a simple FOPEN/FREAD ...
Here's a code that could help >
