Yes, I initially toyed with the ShaderEffectSource. However, as you’re 
pointing out, there is no way to save the image to a file, hence my 
custom solution, which essentially is a very simplified version of 
ShaderEffectSource that renders the source item to an FBO and dumps the 
contents of this FBO to an image file when requested.
