It does write the image into a PDF, but doesn't ``paint'' the image on a 
page (it creates /XObject, but doesn't refer to it with Do operator in a 
content stream.)

And this paints the image. If one say

	Blah
	\immediate\pdfximage width 3in{pice.png}
	\end

the PDF will contain *not* used image object. And in that case

	Blah
	\pdfximage width 3in{pice.png}
	\end

no image will be loaded at all.

Cheers, P
