    '  Initialize 3000 pixels * 2000 pixels RGB image. All pixels of new RGB image are black.  Default resolution is 1 dpi
  image.CreateBpp 3000, 2000, 24
    '  Set DPI to 200
  image.HorzDpi = 200: image.VertDpi = 200
    '  Crop area of the image
  image.Crop 100, 200, 800, 1000
    '  Initialize 8.5" by 11" bi-tonal image. All pixels of new Bi-tonal image are white.  Default resolution is 300 dpi
    '  Image initialization closes and frees memory of the previously crated RGB image
  image.Create 8.5 * 300, 11 * 300
    '  Convert to grayscale
  image.ToGrayscale
    '  Create zone in the center of the image
  Dim zoneCenter As CiImage
  Set zoneCenter = image.CreateZone(image.Width / 3, image.Height / 3, _

    '  Re-define zone to upper left quadrant of the image
  Dim rect As CiRect: Set rect = Ci.CreateRect
  rect.Left = 0: rect.Right = image.Width / 2

  Dim zoneCorner As CiImage
  Set zoneCorner = image.CreateZoneRect(rect)
    '  Clear corner area on the image
