I haven't tried this myself, but I guess you need to declare the TIFF Picture type as a value type, declare it in the .sdef as something like:

<value-type name="TIFF Picture" code="TIFF">

</value-type>

(I'm not sure the TIFF code, it must be consistent with other occurrences of this type though). I think that if you have an accessor for the TIFF data of the image this could work.

What should the type be?

Are there any example Cocoa apps out there that have image attributes?

You've run up against the frustration of where AppleScript's types end and custom app-defined types begin.

If you look inside iChat's dictionary, you find that it defines TIFF Picture as essentially backed up by "NSData".

Not sure what this means for how (or if) scripters can usefully manipulate the TIFF Picture with data from outside of the app (e.g. from a disk file).

Generally I think what you would do is expose a class like "TIFF Picture" such that it included a property like "data path" or something, so users could do something like "make new TIFF Picture with properties {data path:myPictureFilePath}".

I'm pretty rough on this stuff myself, though.
