You can use the GetPixel API to determine what colo a pixel has, and the setpixel API to change it. However, this needs to check with every pixel, and can take some time with large pictures.

private Declare Function GetPixel Lib "gdi32" Alias "GetPixel" (byval hdc as Long, byval x as Long, byval y as Long) as Long
private Declare Function SetPixel Lib "gdi32" Alias "SetPixel" (byval hdc as Long, byval x as Long, byval y as Long, byval crColor as Long) as Long

private Sub Command1_Click()

Picture1.ScaleMode = 3 ' pixel

for Y=1 to Picture1.ScaleHeight
for X=1 to Picture1.ScaleWidth
If GetPixel(Picture1.hDc, X, Y) <> 0 then
' not black, so set it red
SetPixel Picture1.hDc, X, Y, RGB(255,0,0)
End If
next X
next Y

End Sub
