Determine Textures Image Type (JPG, PNG, etc.)

[gretty]

Is it possible to determine a Texture or Texture2D image type? Ie, is it JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP?

I am aware there is the property Texture2D.format but this gives me RGB24. The reason why I need to know if because I need to convert the image to a Byte array so I can store the image in a SQLite3 database.

public byte[] toByteArray(Texture t) {

    Image img = somehow convert a texture to a Image //Image.FromFile(@"C:\Lenna.jpg");
    byte[] arr;
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
      img.Save(ms, t.type); //System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
      arr =  ms.ToArray();
    }
    return arr;
}

Source image formats aren’t used in Unity, and a Texture type can’t contain that information since it’s no longer relevant after the image is imported; at that point it’s RGB24, DXT1, etc. depending on what your import settings were.
