Rather, it simply copies raw image data. fname:vkCmdCopyImage can: copy between images with different formats, provided the formats are compatible as defined below.

[[copies-images-format-compatibility]] The formats of pname:srcImage and pname:dstImage must: be compatible. Formats are compatible if they share the same class, as shown in the <> table. Depth/stencil formats must: match exactly. ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion[] If either pname:srcImage or pname:dstImage has a <>, regions of each plane to be copied must: be specified separately using the pname:srcSubresource and pname:dstSubresource members of the slink:VkImageCopy structure. In this case, the pname:aspectMask of the pname:srcSubresource or pname:dstSubresource that refers to the multi-planar image must: be ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT, ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT, or ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT. For the purposes of fname:vkCmdCopyImage, each plane of a multi-planar image is treated as having the format listed in <> for the plane identified by the pname:aspectMask of the corresponding subresource. This applies both to elink:VkFormat and to coordinates used in the copy, which correspond to texels in the _plane_ rather than how these texels map to coordinates in the image as a whole. [NOTE] .Note ==== For example, the ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT plane of a ename:VK_FORMAT_G8_B8R8_2PLANE_420_UNORM image is compatible with an image of format ename:VK_FORMAT_R8G8_UNORM and (less usefully) with the ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT plane of an image of format ename:VK_FORMAT_G10X6_B10X6_R10X6_3PLANE_420_UNORM_3PACK16, as each texel is 2 bytes in size. ==== endif::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion[] [[copies-images-format-size-compatibility]] fname:vkCmdCopyImage allows copying between _size-compatible_ compressed and uncompressed internal formats. Formats are size-compatible if the texel block size of the uncompressed format is equal to the texel block size of the compressed format. Such a copy does not perform on-the-fly compression or decompression. When copying from an uncompressed format to a compressed format, each texel of uncompressed data of the source image is copied as a raw value to the corresponding compressed texel block of the destination image. When copying from a compressed format to an uncompressed format, each compressed texel block of the source image is copied as a raw value to the corresponding texel of uncompressed data in the destination image. Thus, for example, it is legal to copy between a 128-bit uncompressed format and a compressed format which has a 128-bit sized compressed texel block representing 4{times}4 texels (using 8 bits per texel), or between a 64-bit uncompressed format and a compressed format which has a 64-bit sized compressed texel block representing 4{times}4 texels (using 4 bits per texel). When copying between compressed and uncompressed formats the pname:extent members represent the texel dimensions of the source image and not the destination. When copying from a compressed image to an uncompressed image the image texel dimensions written to the uncompressed image will be source extent divided by the compressed texel block dimensions. When copying from an uncompressed image to a compressed image the image texel dimensions written to the compressed image will be the source extent multiplied by the compressed texel block dimensions. In both cases the number of bytes read and the number of bytes written will be identical. Copying to or from block-compressed images is typically done in multiples of the compressed texel block size. For this reason the pname:extent must: be a multiple of the compressed texel block dimension. There is one exception to this rule which is required: to handle compressed images created with dimensions that are not a multiple of the compressed texel block dimensions: if the pname:srcImage is compressed, then: * If pname:extent.width is not a multiple of the compressed texel block width, then [eq]#(pname:extent.width {plus} pname:srcOffset.x)# must: equal the image subresource width. * If pname:extent.height is not a multiple of the compressed texel block height, then [eq]#(pname:extent.height {plus} pname:srcOffset.y)# must: equal the image subresource height. * If pname:extent.depth is not a multiple of the compressed texel block depth, then [eq]#(pname:extent.depth {plus} pname:srcOffset.z)# must: equal the image subresource depth. Similarly, if the pname:dstImage is compressed, then: * If pname:extent.width is not a multiple of the compressed texel block width, then [eq]#(pname:extent.width {plus} pname:dstOffset.x)# must: equal the image subresource width. * If pname:extent.height is not a multiple of the compressed texel block height, then [eq]#(pname:extent.height {plus} pname:dstOffset.y)# must: equal the image subresource height. * If pname:extent.depth is not a multiple of the compressed texel block depth, then [eq]#(pname:extent.depth {plus} pname:dstOffset.z)# must: equal the image subresource depth. This allows the last compressed texel block of the image in each non-multiple dimension to be included as a source or destination of the copy. ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion[] "`etext:_422`" image formats that are not <> are treated as having a 2{times}1 compressed texel block for the purposes of these rules. endif::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion[] fname:vkCmdCopyImage can: be used to copy image data between multisample images, but both images must: have the same number of samples. .Valid Usage **** include::{chapters}/commonvalidity/copy_image_command_buffer_common.txt[] include::{chapters}/commonvalidity/copy_image_common.txt[] **** include::{generated}/validity/protos/vkCmdCopyImage.txt[] -- [open,refpage='VkImageCopy',desc='Structure specifying an image copy operation',type='structs'] -- :refpage: VkImageCopy The sname:VkImageCopy structure is defined as: include::{generated}/api/structs/VkImageCopy.txt[] * pname:srcSubresource and pname:dstSubresource are slink:VkImageSubresourceLayers structures specifying the image subresources of the images used for the source and destination image data, respectively. * pname:srcOffset and pname:dstOffset select the initial pname:x, pname:y, and pname:z offsets in texels of the sub-regions of the source and destination image data. * pname:extent is the size in texels of the image to copy in pname:width, pname:height and pname:depth. ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_1,VK_KHR_maintenance1[] For ename:VK_IMAGE_TYPE_3D images, copies are performed slice by slice starting with the pname:z member of the pname:srcOffset or pname:dstOffset, and copying pname:depth slices.

Instead, pname:bufferOffset can: be used to select the starting address in buffer memory. For block-compressed formats, all parameters are still specified in texels rather than compressed texel blocks, but the addressing math operates on whole compressed texel blocks. Pseudocode for compressed copy addressing is: [source,c] --------------------------------------------------- rowLength = region->bufferRowLength; if (rowLength == 0) rowLength = region->imageExtent.width; imageHeight = region->bufferImageHeight; if (imageHeight == 0) imageHeight = region->imageExtent.height; compressedTexelBlockSizeInBytes = ; rowLength = (rowLength + compressedTexelBlockWidth - 1) / compressedTexelBlockWidth; imageHeight = (imageHeight + compressedTexelBlockHeight - 1) / compressedTexelBlockHeight; address of (x,y,z) = region->bufferOffset + (((z * imageHeight) + y) * rowLength + x) * compressedTexelBlockSizeInBytes; where x,y,z range from (0,0,0) to region->imageExtent.{width/compressedTexelBlockWidth,height/compressedTexelBlockHeight,depth/compressedTexelBlockDepth}. --------------------------------------------------- Copying to or from block-compressed images is typically done in multiples of the compressed texel block size. For this reason the pname:imageExtent must: be a multiple of the compressed texel block dimension.

[NOTE] .Note ==== Due to allowable rounding errors in the generation of the source texture coordinates, it is not always possible to guarantee exactly which source texels will be sampled for a given blit. As rounding errors are implementation-dependent, the exact results of a blitting operation are also implementation-dependent. ==== Blits are done layer by layer starting with the pname:baseArrayLayer member of pname:srcSubresource for the source and pname:dstSubresource for the destination. pname:layerCount layers are blitted to the destination image. When blitting 3D textures, slices in the destination region bounded by pname:dstOffsets[0].z and pname:dstOffsets[1].z are sampled from slices in the source region bounded by pname:srcOffsets[0].z and pname:srcOffsets[1].z.

If the pname:filter parameter is ename:VK_FILTER_NEAREST then the value sampled from the source image is taken from the single nearest slice, with an implementation-dependent arithmetic rounding mode. The following filtering and conversion rules apply: * Integer formats can: only be converted to other integer formats with the same signedness. * No format conversion is supported between depth/stencil images. The formats must: match. * Format conversions on unorm, snorm, unscaled and packed float formats of the copied aspect of the image are performed by first converting the pixels to float values. * For sRGB source formats, nonlinear RGB values are converted to linear representation prior to filtering. * After filtering, the float values are first clamped and then cast to the destination image format. In case of sRGB destination format, linear RGB values are converted to nonlinear representation before writing the pixel to the image.
