Did you actually look at the script at all? First of all you could learn
something about AppleScript that way and secondly, you would have been
able to solve your problem even if you don't know anything about
AppleScript.
If the script indeed stores a reference, then you should see "set ....
to reference of ...." in the script somewhere. Guess what you could do
to store the picture rather than the reference.... (You guessed it!
Remove "reference of" from that line!)
