After I posted, it also occured to me that not all transparent images use white as the alphadata color. So without transparency, you might end up with a purple or orange image you didn't expect. Hadn't thought of that. So yeah, probably wouldn't work on a couple of levels.

That’s an interesting idea, but I don’t think it will work in many cases 
because the translucent portions of an image still need to be blended against 
something.  Just removing the alphaData gets rid of the blending, and for 
example, will make the soft edge of a an antialiased curve jagged.

Do your users go through an import process?  If yes, and you can
determine which images are PNGs (by file suffix for example), then
you might be able to replace the contents of the imported PNG with a
snapshot of its position on the card.  Export a snapshot of the card
using the PNGs rect to a variable, and then set the text of the
imported image to the variable.

Could you do something with the alpha channel instead? Like, set it to empty?
