This class loads multipage images (GIF and TIFF formats) in read-write mode by default. If you want to open multipage images in read-only mode, you need to call the GdPictureImaging.GifOpenMultiFrameForWrite method for GIF format and the GdPictureImaging.TiffOpenMultiPageForWrite method for TIFF format and set the WriteAccess parameter to false before creating an image.

This method requires the Image Documents component to run.
