Is it true there's no way to get an NSImage directly from a SwiftUI Image? Seems weird since Image can be created from NSImage.
Seems the solution is to load the asset as an NSImage and go from there.
@puppethead SwiftUI's Image is a view, not an object like NS/UIImage.
@nicoreese @puppethead It's *also* a View, like other more model like things, e.g. Color. But it's also an Image in the original sense.
I think they chose not to expose the underlying representation because UIImage and NSImage are really different and at least the latter can be problematic thread transfer wise.
@puppethead I’ve never had to go in this direction before. CGImage as an intermediary maybe?
@mattiem I went with loading as NSImage, and then creating Image from that. Slightly more complicated to load NSImage from an asset catalog, especially since I'm tinkering with a screensaver which isn't the main bundle.
@twostraws has a good writeup on converting between image formats, although NSImage is missing. 😀
