BTW, if you don't have James' book I highly recommend it. Plenty of nice imaging lingo stuff. Kerry's and Gretchen's reviews at Amazon say it all.

Hi Rodrigo,

If you need to compare a large number of pixels, you will find it much faster to use copyPixels() rather than getPixels(). CopyPixels() is like a SCUBA diver: it can dive into Director's C++ imaging routines and do a lot of work on a lot of pixels at once. GetPixel() is like a skin diver: it wastes a lot of time coming back up to Lingo for air between each operation.
