Var f As FolderItem
If ImageWell1.Image <> Nil Then
// Get a temporary file to save the image to
If Picture.IsExportFormatSupported(Picture.Formats.JPEG) Then
f = SpecialFolder.Temporary.Child("TempImage.jpg")

// Save the image out to the file
ImageWell1.Image.Save(f, Picture.Formats.JPEG)
End If

// Open the file as a BinaryStream and read the data in
bs = BinaryStream.Open(f, False)
If bs <> Nil Then
imageData = bs.Read(bs.Length)
bs.Close
End If

// delete the temporary file if it exists
If f.Exists Then
f.Delete
End If
End If
