I have the following line of code in a stack which works great but seems to me to be wrong:

import snapshot from rect (the rect of img "TEST2") of card "Test" of stack "Tester" -- Works as expected

So if I fix it to what I think it should be it doesn't work but snapshots from the actual stack or card but not the rect of the image:

import snapshot from rect (the rect of img "TEST2" of card "Gradient Lab" of stack "LRSGradientText") -- Does not work as expected

Any ideas or the obvious answer that I might be missing. Example one does work and I am using it but every time I go through my code I try to 'fix' it with example two and then it doesn't work. This is the fifth time I broke it trying to fix it..... But it ain't broke......

Offhand I don't know why the latter isn't working, but you might consider using the new form of "export snapshot" which allows you to specify the object rather than merely its rect:

  export snapshot from grp "MyGroup" to file "MyImage.jpg" as jpeg

This will cause the object specified to be rendered into an offscreen buffer directly, then that buffer is compressed into the specified format for writing to disk.

The benefit here may be that the card on which the object resides doesn't even need to be opened to get its image exported.
