[Mono-dev] Bitmap manipulation - am I doing it right?

[Stifu]

Yes, I do mean the Clone method.
And that's what I was asking you: how do you mean a copy of the relevant
image part? When doing searches on that, I saw people advised the use of the
Clone method to achieve it.
And yes, I'm using Graphics.DrawImage.

By the way, I already use LockBits to create the Bitmaps (through an unsafe
Bitmap class), but that's another matter altogether, it doesn't affect how I
render them on screen.

Anyway, it looks like I'll simply be able to drop all my Cloning and go for
alpha blending instead, which will hopefully work the way I want it and be
fast enough.
