The BMP file format, also known as bitmap image file or device independent bitmap (DIB) file format or simply a bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device (such as a graphics adapter), especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.
Great collection of various BMP sample files: BMP Suite Image List (by Jason Summers)
If only there was such a comprehensive sample suite for every file format! It's like a dream for every developer of any binary file format parser. It contains a lot of different types and variations of BMP files, even the tricky ones, where it's not clear from the specification how to deal with them (marked there as "questionable").
If you make a program which will be able to read all the "good" and "questionable" BMP files and won't crash on the "bad" ones, it will definitely have one of the most extensive support of BMP files in the universe!
A beneficial discussion on Adobe forum (archived): Invalid BMP Format with Alpha channel
In 2010, someone noticed that Photoshop generated BMP with an odd type of header. There wasn't any documentation available for this header at the time (and still isn't). However, Chris Cox (former Adobe employee) claimed that they hadn't invented any type of proprietary header and everything they were writing was taken directly from the Microsoft documentation.
It showed up that the unknown header was called BITMAPV3INFOHEADER. Although Microsoft has apparently requested and verified the use of the header, the documentation on MSDN has probably got lost and they have probably forgotten about this type of header.
This is the only source I could find about these structures, so we could't rely on it so much, but I think supporting them as a read-only format won't harm anything. Due to the fact that it isn't documented anywhere else, most applications don't support it.
All Windows headers at once (including mentioned BITMAPV2INFOHEADER and BITMAPV3INFOHEADER):
This page hosts a formal specification of .bmp file format using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for Python generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Python runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The Python runtime library can be installed from PyPI:
python3 -m pip install kaitaistruct
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
data = Bmp.from_file("path/to/local/file.bmp")
Or parse structure from a bytes:
from kaitaistruct import KaitaiStream, BytesIO
raw = b"\x00\x01\x02..."
data = Bmp(KaitaiStream(BytesIO(raw)))
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:
data.file_hdr # => get file hdr
# This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
import kaitaistruct
