Creates a Binary Large OBject, a direct-to-memory
version of the image.
if an image format is selected which is capable of supporting
fewer colors than the original image or quantization has been
requested, the original image will be quantized to fewer colors.
Use a copy of the original if this is a problem.
Note, some image formats do not permit multiple images to the same
image stream (e.g. JPEG). in this instance, just the first image of
the sequence is returned as a blob.
