If you wish to load an image from a file that is specified by the user from a WinRT picker, you will need to copy the file locally to a temporary location before you can use LoadFromTGAFile on it. This is because you either won't have file access rights to the user's file location, or the StorageFile is actually not a local file system path (i.e. it's a URL).

Lowercase letters indicate channels pulled from the first image (``rgbaxyzw``), and uppercase letters indicate the second image (``RGBAXYZW``). The mask is 1 to 4 characters in length. A ``0`` indicates setting that channel to zero, a ``1`` indicates setting that channel to maximum.

## Load
If you wish to load an image from a file that is specified by the user from a WinRT picker, you will need to copy the file locally to a temporary location before you can use LoadFromWICFile on it. This is because you either won't have file access rights to the user's file location, or the StorageFile is actually not a local file system path (i.e. it's a URL).
