I'm trying to use MODI to OCR a window's program. It works fine for screenshots I grab programmatically using win32 interop like this:

public string SaveScreenShotToFile()
{
    RECT rc;
    GetWindowRect(_hWnd, out rc);

    int width = rc.right - rc.left;
    int height = rc.bottom - rc.top;

    Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height);
    Graphics gfxBmp = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
    IntPtr hdcBitmap = gfxBmp.GetHdc();

    PrintWindow(_hWnd, hdcBitmap, 0);

    gfxBmp.ReleaseHdc(hdcBitmap);
    gfxBmp.Dispose();

    string fileName = @"c:\temp\screenshots\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".bmp";
    bmp.Save(fileName);
    return fileName;
}

This image is then saved to a file and ran through MODI like this:

    private string GetTextFromImage(string fileName)
    {

        MODI.Document doc = new MODI.DocumentClass();
        doc.Create(fileName);
        doc.OCR(MODI.MiLANGUAGES.miLANG_ENGLISH, true, true);
        MODI.Image img = (MODI.Image)doc.Images[0];
        MODI.Layout layout = img.Layout;

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < layout.Words.Count; i++)
        {
            MODI.Word word = (MODI.Word)layout.Words[i];
            sb.Append(word.Text);
            sb.Append(" ");
        }

        if (sb.Length > 1)
            sb.Length--;

        return sb.ToString();
    }

This part works fine, however, I don't want to OCR the entire screenshot, just portions of it. I try cropping the image programmatically like this:

    private string SaveToCroppedImage(Bitmap original)
    {
        Bitmap result = original.Clone(new Rectangle(0, 0, 250, 250), original.PixelFormat);
        var fileName = "c:\\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".bmp";
        result.Save(fileName, original.RawFormat);

        return fileName;
    }

and then OCRing this smaller image, however MODI throws an exception; 'OCR running error', the error code is -959967087.

Why can MODI handle the original bitmap but not the smaller version taken from it?
