This question is kind of tricky to word, so bear with me.
Is it possible to make a DBP loaded image into a c++ data buffer, just from the image number I want to use, and vice versa i.e. putting the data from a buffer back into an image number.

To do it from C++ Mnem, you'll need to probably create a pointer function to one of the Memblock DLL exports, and create a memblockfromimage call, access the image data from that, and then reuse MakeImageFromMemblock. I can't recall the actual exported names off the top of my head, but it's certainly possible from within C++.

There's also a function in the Image DLL called GetPointer that returns a DX pointer to the DX surface data.
