Does resizing an image change number of bytes?

[Phil Davis]

Hi Steve,

Image resizing alone won't change total stack size. However, once you've 
resized your image to exactly what you want, you can make a button to 
remove the fat, like this:


on mouseUp
   -- first, prevent the image from expanding when reset
   set the lockLoc of img "myImage" to true

   -- reset the image's data
   put the imageData of img "myImage" into tData
   set the imageData of img "myImage" to tData
end mouseUp


Then save your stack and take a look at your stack size - it'll be smaller.

There are probably other ways to do it, but this is one way.
