when using "the imagedata" you have to make sure that the "target" 
image has EXACTLY
the same dimensions as the "source" image, or you might expereince ugly 
results...

But you can:

...
put a_var_with_binary_data into img 1
...

and it will resize to the correct dimensions :-)

I use customproperties to store binary/image data (not "imagdata" ;-)
and never had any problems.

Hope that helps...
