Maybe I wasn't clear enough, for now, only fpDevice is supported. 
Whatever format you choose for a TBitmap, it gets always converted to 
pfDevice the moment you need a handle (and for a bitmap that is sooner 
than you expect) This is a limitation of the current implementation. It 
might/will get changed somewhere itn the future, but till then you have 
only pfDevice.
