Hey all. I want to use OpenAI’s Edit Image API to enhance images already stored in Glide. However, it seems the API requires binary images and the API call needs to be x-form-encoded. I think I know how to do the latter, but is there a way to convert an image stored in Glide to binary data _ **only using Glide workflows and not Make/Zapier/n8n?** _
