The McImageType object that is returned is a COPY of the image's type information. The characteristics of the image cannot be changed by modifying this type object. Access to the actual image type object may be obtained from the PixelBuffer property (see example)
Note that the region access's type information may differ from the type information for the image that is accessed through this region access, since the region access can provide casting to a different image type. Note also that since the type object is a copy, it can be modified and used for further processing. For instance, to convert multi-channel image data to a new monochrome image with the same pixel type and bit depth, you can use the following (assuming that Img is a valid image).
