> put the imageData of image "picImage" into tBits

I asked this question before, and I still haven't gotten to the point 
of testing:

Why does everyone choose the imageData of the image instead of its text?

 From Rev Dictionary:

"The imageData, unlike the contents of the image container, is based on 
the picture as it’s presented on the screen, not stored in the image 
object. This means that if you resize an image, the content of the 
image does not change, but its imageData does. If you create an image 
and then reduce its size, its imageData reflects the scaled-down, 
displayed image, not the original full-scale image. If you create a 
second image and set its imageData property to the imageData of the 
original image, resizing the first image back to the original 
dimensions displays the original image at full resolution, but resizing 
the second image does not, because setting its imageData transferred 
only the scaled-down version of the original."

I read this to say, "If you want to retain the original contents of an 
image, store its text NOT its imageData."

What am I missing?
