Problem Statement

Currently Claude Code can only analyse the photos you send it in chat, it does not seem to be capable of actually getting the raw data and saving it as a image file into the project.

This would be a massive quality of life update for users like me who exclusivly use claude code on the cloud, which makes it very annoying to send images to claude (i have to essentially do it through git)

Proposed Solution

Allow Claude Code to use the raw image file when it is sent to claude, and not only for image analysis
