text is sufficient. you are limited by your thinking!

just save the reference to the image as text and save that as a pref.
voilà -- the pref routines work with images.

or
load the image as a handle,
copy that as if it were 'text'.
voilà -- the pref routines work with images.

"text" can be whatever you want it to be, just think of it as a binary
stream that can be treated -- if you so desire -- as text, but can 
[also] be
sound, images, references, linked lists, flattened resources, 
spaghetti...
