If you use the Finder-style of a path then you need to prepend the
string with "file", if you use the Posix-style of path then you need to
use "Posix path"
Finder-style path:
----
tell application "Image Events"
open file "path:to:file"
end tell
----
Posix-style path:
----
tell application "Image Events"
open Posix file "/path/to/file"
end tell
----

I'm having all sorts of trouble with Image Events, namely that it's
not working.
If I use it to try to information about an image, I get no information
(i.e., an empty list). I've copied the example scripts at the
AppleScript website just to make sure that I haven't written something
incorrectly, but I get the same result (or lack thereof).
I've also tried to use it to convert images. If I use the scripts at
the AppleScript site exactly, it works ok. However, if I identify the
path to an image file ahead of time rather than using 'choose file', I
get bupkus. I'm assuming that I must need to use a special syntax for
the path to the image file, but I can't figure out what it might be.
I've tried ' as string', ' as Unicode text' and 'POSIX path of '
without success.
Using OS 10.3.3/10.3.4.
