C# generic error in GDI+ when saving an image

When I try to save an image using either System.Drawing.Image.Save(String) or System.Drawing.Bitmap.Save(String) an exception is throw indicating a generic error in GDI+. Searching the web and Stack Overflow shows that I should be making sure I don't close the stream the image came from, but in my case the image was downloaded from the internet through a 3rd party library and I have no control over the stream it was read from (if it was even read from a stream)

I've tried a few things such as copying the image, but I always get the same error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try using the Save(String, ImageFormat) overload. The image format inference doesn't appear to work particularly well.

I've had this in the past. Make sure you have write permissions to wherever you're saving the file.
