This would remove the problem of having to generate new canvases and render an
image to them to do trivial operations like getting the ImageData.

var image = new Image();
var imageData;
image.onload = function()
{
    imageData = image.getContext("2d").getImageData(0, 0, image.width,
image.height);
}
image.src = "example.png";
