You do do know that a picture is basically a lot of data that tells the computer what to do right (how to put the picture together)? So using logic, why cant you make your own format...
You could even save the image data the way has it stored in bitmaps, but latch on your own data somewhere, problem solved.
Of course, I doubt its as easy as that, since you'd probably have to work out, which part of the file is actually image and which isn't yada yada
A good start would be to look at the file layout of bitmaps if you want to create your own file format.
There are probably much easier ways to do what you want, but I'm too lazy to actually read the rest of the topic.
O here's a site with some zipping info, not sure if its useful
