Be warned that the bounds of an image is unreliable.
You bet it is -- I was going to suggest roughly what you did below, but
tried it in SD first because I know how Xpress is...
It won't get left, or top of bounds.
What's really interesting is that if I convert *any* bounds to a "fixed
rectangle", then I can't use Xpress to get the individual pieces via
'top' or 'left'.
There also doesn't seem to be any way to pull out strings from this
either, pretty much anything I try to do with that errors.
I'd love to know how the original poster is managing to treat that as a
list of strings, because I can't manage to do even that much.
