Anyone know what the error " Image Events got an error: Can’t get «class psxf» " means?

This is what that part of your script looks like in Script Debuggers with raw syntax showing.

set imageFile to «class psxf» imageFile

So, it may be a coersion error. What class is imageFile? (alias, posix path, text?) Here's a few things you may try:

set thisImage to open (POSIX file imageFile as text)

or
set imageFile to (POSIX path of imageFile)

set thisImage to open (POSIX file imageFile as text)
