Generally if you supplied the blob (blob to image) no problem you own it
so you free it.
Having a quick look at the headers I see a function called DestroyBlob()
"blob.h", so that would be the logical function to use.
Going deeper I can see that the blobs generated by the library
("blob.c" were allocated using AcquireAlignedMemory()
and destory by the corresponding function (after many checks) using
RelinquishAlignedMemory()
However (after some basic checks) that is just a normal free()
Use the highest level you have access too.
