I had considered locking the image but the problem is unlocking it.
When, or rather what would trigger, that? What I had not considered
was that the script continues to loop/idle as long as the Preview
window is open and the unlocks the image once that window is gone.
Can anyone give me an idea if this is possible? I work on a laptop, so
an actual loop isn't practice, the processor goes up to 100%, the fan
comes on, and the battery drains.
The idea of changing privileges gives me the willies.

To be able to compare an image in iPhoto side by side with it's

folder and opens the original.
How about having your script tell Finder to lock the file before
opening it (I'm ass-u-meing that locked=read only)? Or suppose a better
option would be to change Everyones Privileges or Owner Previleges to
read only. When your script is done, you could set it back to what it
was.
Sorry, I can't help out with some sample code (I'm still very new to
AS, and you probably know more than I).
Well, actually here's something really basic:
set this_item to (choose file)
tell application "Finder"
set oldPrivilege to (get owner privileges of this_item)
set properties of this_item to {owner privileges:read only}
--
-- Do whatever you need here
--
set properties of this_item to {owner privileges:oldPrivilege}
end tell
--
Listserv only address.
