# draggedImage

The image that represents the dragging item.

## Declaration

```swift
var draggedImage: NSImage? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This image object visually represents the data put on the pasteboard during the drag operation; however, it is the pasteboard data and not this image that is ultimately utilized in the dragging operation. This method returns non-nil for a local drag, but nil for a cross-process drag. With the new multi-image dragging capabilities, a cross-process destination may participate and change the drag image. But it still cannot get the current drag image.
