 Scan an Image

Hi, is there a way in vb3, vb4 pro, or vb5 cce to 'scan' an image so you can
see in easy data the image. For example say the user selected an image in my
program my program would turn the image into simple data( e.g.
111112221111111155522222 where 1 is white, 2 is blue etc), and would then do
the same to another image. It could then compare the images and show what
parts of the image, if any, are different. There probably isn't or if there
is the data would probably still be harder to use than simple numbers (e.g.
111112221111111155522222 where 1 is white, 2 is blue etc).
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks is advance,
Paul Lakin

Sure, it's all just numbers.  The trick is in figuring out what numbers mean
what.
For that, you'd need the file spec for the format the image is saved in ...
you might want to start with a relatively simple format like TGA or even a
Photoshop RAW save.  I'd avoid TIFF like the plague ... it's far more
complex than most other raster formats.
