Part of the improvements to Cropper was to save a thumbnail of the image in the CropSet file. This meant loading was dramatically improved as it didn't have to load the original and make a thumbnail each time.

However, it seems an image loaded using the FromStream method will keep the stream alive during the life time of the image (see link)

So, attempting to save it to another stream will cause the Generic GDI+ error.

The way around, as suggested by MS, is to create a copy of the image. They have given two ways of doing this, I don't know which is best, but I've chosen the first.

GDI+, Development
