Actually, apparently it works with aliases if the alias is declared inside the
tell block
In the OP there was an error because choose file return an alias.
The script works if you sent a string to it without converting to file as in
set k to alias "some path” as string
or
set k to( choose file) as string
tell application "Image Events"
set im to open k
….
end tell
works.
So if it is just open k it works, if it is open file k it works and if it is
open alias k it works.
However sending an actual “file” or “alias” it doesn’t the script fails
although the first line works, i.e., it opens the file
I tried the Finder and System Events.
