I have trouble understanding the differences between the Image class and the Bitmap class. Now, I know that the Bitmap inherits from the Image but from what I understand both are very similar. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

A Bitmap is an object used to work with images defined by pixel data.
bitmap, method by which a display space (such as a graphics image file) is defined, including the colour of each of its pixels (or bits). In effect, a bitmap is an array of binary data representing the values of pixels in an image or display. A GIF is an example of a graphics image file that has a bitmap.
A bitmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of bits.
The Bitmap class is an implementation of the Image class. The Image class is an abstract class;
The Bitmap class contains 12 constructors that construct the Bitmap object from different parameters. It can construct the Bitmap from another bitmap, and the string address of the image.
