RM: Your "why bother" assumes a) we work in teams of one in solitude or something like that. OR b) you have experienced talented "workers" in image process.
In a distributed work environment, the options to pre-process images prior to getting them into LiveCode is often zero. So...when the only resources you have are square, ordinary images, having such a library in Livecode can be hugely helpful... add to that, the use case may be multiple images over many cards ( or set for whatever purpose), making an LC library/process that can loop, way, way more efficient than doing these in GIMP of Photoshop, unless you want to go through the headached of setting up and recording actions etc. I have in house app functions where, sure, we could do the same thing in another X, Y, Z application, but certainly not with the same efficiency and certainly not by someone with zero skill set in applications X,Y,Z. I have volunteers to work on sets of 3000 + images with Livecode where the idea of "why bother, you can do this in GIMP/Photoshop" verges on madness (smile).
