Because LoadFromMemory doesn't support DIBs (nor should it, really), and the header differs between BMP and DIBs?

Okay, I just used sf::Sprite::FlipY and everything's just fine. Thanks for all the help everybody!

Is that even true?

I really didn't think there was any difference between the two. Bitmaps are bitmaps. It's a pretty standard format, I thought.

Blech. This isn't a solution. It's a hack, and you shouldn't be the least bit satisfied with it.

The obvious solution here would be to just use a supported image format. Is there any reason you can't?

Well, is there any way to load a png from a .rc file using FindResource, LoadResource, and LockResource?

And according to wikipedia dib's and bmp's do have different headers.

Yes.

Find/Load/Lock the resource, then sf::Image::LoadFromMemory

Interesting. Learn something new every day I guess.
