If I remember well, we used this way to get some data about image required by PDF format.

Maybe there is a smarter way to do this, I will have a look with Olivier about this.

Reg Krock took a look at how difficult it would be to port Artefact to Gemstone.
He found that JPEG support uses a plugin based reader/writer, and seems to
render the JPEG using BitBlt and Form.

Why are JPEGs rendered? I’d think embedding them should be enough
(and be better for speed and image quality)
