This may not be the problem, but if your port's forecolor & backcolor
aren't black and white at the time of the CopyBits (as they may not be
if your picture-drawing routine's changed them), CopyBits will "colorize"
your picture for you.  The taste that it shows when colorizing is one
understood best by its author...   Try throwing in a ForeColor(blackColor)
and BackColor(whiteColor) immediately before your copyBits, and see if
that changes anything.
