Okay, I found the solution for converting images:
Instead of exporting and import, I simply imported from the rectangle of the
original object.
I had avoided this approach originally, since I was under the impression
that the resulting bitmap would be uncompressed. Oddly enough, after
conversion the image data size seems smaller, maybe by around 10% or so.
Is this common?
Here's the conversion script if anyone needs it:
--================================================--
on ReplaceImage pImageObj
lock messages
put the short name of pImageObj into tImageName
put the rect of pImageObj into tSaveRect
put globalLoc(item 1 to 2 of tSaveRect) &","& \
globalLoc(item 3 to 4 of tSaveRect) into tGlobalRect
import snapshot from rect tGlobalRect
delete image ID (the short id of pImageObj)
put the long ID of last image into tNuImageObj
set the rect of tNuImageObj to tSaveRect
set the name of tNuImageObj to tImageName
unlock messages
end ReplaceImage
--================================================--
