Well, how about the built-in DrawPicture() and CopyBits ?

Basically, you draw to the screen (or an offscreen bitmap depending on
personal taste and size of picture) and then read the bits directly.
No problem. Especially in the offscreen bitmap version, where you have
complete control over the process.

This is good for PICT and PICT2, of course.
