I know this discussion has gone on a while and I don't have any current interest in the result, but couldn't someone just write the different data formats to a file, then look at the hexDump (using BBEdit or other) and compare them? Even 'set the clipboarddata to the imageData' etc.... put the imageData of image orange into imgData put url binary: jpg into picRaw is imgData in picRaw put offset(imData, picRaw) into firstHit You know, stuff like that? I don't have time to do any digging this week, but that might shed light on what happens..when..if.. maybe..
