I'm sorry to point out that this not clear at all.
There is a difference between being an output parameter and allocating 
the parameter's internal buffers.
Clearly, I understand the picture will be written onto (that's what 
output parameter means I think), and not that it'll be allocated by the 
method.

Anyway, here's an updated patch.
Best regards,
Cyril
