PNG data without saving to file?

Using a temporary disk file is not as bad as it looks, because with PNG the encoding is very slow (so you aren't adding that much time with the file I/O in a decent OS).

If you can transfer the raw data (or something close such as BMP or Targa) you can get the layer as a python array using pixel regions.

It looks like pixel regions is the best answer. The one issue I find with a temporary file is that it bloats the PF_IMAGE option selection with all of the deleted images.

By the way, your high quality documentation throughout time has been instrumental in my development. Thank you so much!
