I am new to C++, so bear with me. I am wanting to develop a simple program to analyze the color values of an image (format doesn't matter, just what's easiest). I want the program to determine the numerical value of the colors and save those values in a sequential arrangement.

.bmp will probably be the easiest format to decode, but you'll really have to decide on the image format, as each one is quite different.

Okay BMP it is. But where do I go from now? What is the first step for developing such a program?

I've made a well-commented example for you here. Its by no means complete, but it is a starting point and should get you going.

Or you can use some library for image processing. It will do lot of work for you. This one looks good: cimg.sourceforge.net (wow, I am not able to post regular links so far !?!). Have a look on basic tutorial: cimg.sourceforge.net/reference/group__cimg__tutorial.html
