The simplest way to do this is with imageData. Something like the following should do the trick (untested):

on mouseUp
  put 100,100,180,180 into theRect --or whatever
  set the rectangle of image 1 to theRect --original image
  set the rectangle of image 2 to theRect --thumbnail image
  set the imagedata of image 2 to the imagedata of image 1
  set the height of image 1 to the formattedHeight of image 1
  set the width of image 1 to the formattedWidth of image 1
end mouseUp

Note that the two images need to have the exact same rectangle, or the second image will show distorted garbage, or nothing at all.

PS: I used this in Malta during my presentation, but also transfered the imagedata over a socket. So you could theoretically even save the imagedata to a file, for later retrieval.

If import a big image and reduce its dimensions to a thumbnail, how do I
reduce the data size of the thumbnail?

If this has already been written up somewhere, could someone point it out to me? The imageData dox entry describes what it is but not really how to use
it.
