I think you were probably typing a bit too fast :-D ... The code for 
the target image should have been:

on dragenter
   if "text" is among the items of keys(the dragData) then
     set the acceptDrop to true
   end if
end dragenter

on dragdrop
   if "text" is among the items of keys(the dragData) then
     put base64decode(the dragdata["text"]) into me
   end if
   pass dragdrop
end dragdrop

It works like a charm - for all types of images, not just PNG! However, 
it only works if dragging WITHIN Rev - not if you want to drag your 
picture to another app... The other apps now think we are dragging 
'text'...

Any further hints would be IMMENSELY appreciated!

Many thanks,
