I'm surprised it can be faster than   "the formatted width" of an image 
that you have already imported (or referenced via file). Given that I 
know I'm going to display the photo, it seems like an extra effort to 
create an image, import the file into it, check its size, then delete 
the image.

Given a "lock screen" in the right place, using the formattedwidth of 
the image that you have already imported (or referenced) is also 
invisible to the user (and seems like it ought to be faster).

If you use those pixel sizes to set the dimensions of the image object 
you are going to use, then you again have the problem of  losing track 
of the maximum size available for the image; that was Jon's latest 
question, and my latest answer.

So unless there's a way to get the image to display at a specified size 
without setting the width, height of the image then I can't see how this 
helps with the most recent question.

Am I just missing something ?  (or has the "crossing-in-time" nature of 
email led to some confusion ?)
