# GetPreviewImage Method of the ImageDocument Object

Returns an image preview of the default size, which means 94 \* 60 pixels. If the preview hasn't been created yet, it will be created on the call to this method, which may take some time. After the first call, cached image will be returned. However, the preview may be reset on any image modifications, automatic or manual. After modifications, call this method again to create a new preview.
