Jacque:
Do you use imageData a lot? I know the crashes I had were because the imageData was wrong, but in your experience is this generally a stable technique for repeated use?
Moi:
The image's TEXT property contains the binary data that comprises the image.
I am presently testing the first version of SDB to support storage and retrieval of binary data [in this case a signature created using Rev's pencil tool]. I store and reset ONLY the TEXT property of the signature image. I've now repeated this dozens of times with no problems.
The image's imageData property contains a binary representation of the image AS IT IS CURRENTLY DISPLAYED.
Rev Dictionary notes that using the imageData of an image displayed at less-than-full size as the source of another image causes a loss of image detail. Even at full size, I presume the imageData shows the image at 72 dpi of my screen, not the 250 dpi resolution of the image's TEXT. If so, simply storing the imageData somewhere and using it in a new image (or in resetting the existing image) causes a loss of image detail.
