Hi @busean,

you could store store a serialized version of your image in a variable ( see here for more information). When you make a fetch request for the external task, you can also state the variable name you want to have. Thus, when fetching the external task you can also retrieve the variable with the serialized image.

Does that help?

Best,
Johannes
