Richard,
Actually a snapshot of an object does not take an exact snapshot
following the attributes of the object (transparency, etc.) but a
snapshot of the rect of the object will follow the attributes
(transparency, etc.)

I have the following line of code in a stack which works great but

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.
