How do I convert a Image to a byte Array?

[Shadowblitz16]

CopyPixelDataTo doesn't exist and there is no suggestion in vscode on the namespace it's in if it still exists.

using OpenTK.Mathematics;
using OpenTK.Graphics.ES30;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Advanced;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Processing;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp.PixelFormats;

    public Texture(string file) : this()
    {
        if (!File.Exists(file)) return;
        
        using (var image = Image.Load(file))
        {
            image.Mutate(x=>x.Flip(FlipMode.Vertical));
            image.CopyPixelDataTo(this.data);
        }
        Init();
    }

Save (or the async version) can be used to save the image to a stream - save to a MemoryStream and then call ToArray()?

That would contain an image stream encoded in a specific image format. CopyPixelDataTo writes raw pixel data of the original pixel type, which is a different use-case.

The docs are clear here. The method exists on the generic Image<T> type.

And the reason for that is that you need to know your pixel type when working with raw pixel data @Shadowblitz16. Here is an OpenTK tutorial with ImageSharp: https://opentk.net/learn/chapter1/5-textures.html#imagesharp
