I think arete meant through the API programming system for creating add-ons.

I'm not sure... maybe Oleg or Ralph would know?

I need more information - what is the source of the image you are trying to load?
- From a picture placed in a drawing?
- From a picture in a GDL object?
- From a picture in a loaded library?
- From an arbitrary external file?

OK - the ArchiCAD API isn't going to help you with that. I suggest taking a look at the QuickTime API from Apple http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/

This API is crossplatform (Mac & Win) and deals with a wide variety of image formats. ArchiCAD itself uses the QuickTime API (it is installed with ArchiCAD). You can readily obtain info like size and resolution for a specified image file. Look at the documentation for 'Import and Export' http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/RM/ImportExport/DataExchange/index.html
