C# how do you "read" an image programatically?
<p>I dont have a CS background but have worked extensively with C#. Perhaps I would know this answer with a CS background but I'm hoping to get help from all of the smart folks on this site.</p>

<p>Can someone please provide a C# code snippet on how you can programmatically "read" an image with C#? Assume that I have image that is black and white, like a fingerprint. The background can be white or grayscale and the print itself is black. How can I use C# to distinguish between the portions that are part of the image (i.e. the fingerprint) and the background (i.e. white or grayscale)?</p>
