I am looking to write image data to a file using applescript. A similar script that I have found that does this (but doesn't appear to work anymore) is iTunes Artwork to Preview from Doug's Scripts. Does anyone have any expertise with this?

As a test I was writing my own version of the aforementioned script. It does write the data to a file but no application opens it as a valid picture. I have included it below.

tell application "iTunes"

set playingTrack to current track

set trackArtwork to artwork 1 of playingTrack

set imageData to data of trackArtwork as picture

set blankFile to (path to desktop as string) & "picture.pict"

set fileReference to (open for access blankFile with write permission)

write imageData starting at 0 to fileReference

close access fileReference

end tell

tell application "Preview"

activate

open blankFile

end tell
