I bet you can't save it because it's still open. Put a try/catch block around your code and see what the exact exception is. At that point, you should be able to discern the best approach to fixing the problem.

Try this :) It saves the bitmap first into a memorystream and that writes it to a filestream (read: to the original file).

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(Path);

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(myBitmap);
StringFormat strFormat = new StringFormat();
strFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;

g.DrawString(Text, new Font("Tahoma", 20), Brushes.Black, new RectangleF(0, 0, 500, 500), strFormat);

myBitmap.Save(ms, myBitmap.RawFormat);

FileStream fs = new FileStream(Path, FileMode.Create);

ms.WriteTo(fs);

fs.Close();
