No, it isn't: it doesn't find the class when reading. When you copy and 
paste a TImage you'll have a stream read error, as well as when 
reopening the project.

Yes, I find it suboptimal that the picture format can be hijacked 
without adding a dependency on the needed package to correctly read it back.
Of course it's my fault since I installed it in the ide without a real 
need, but I still think there's something wrong.

It doesn't even work at designtime (see above).
