When we select an Image in the FrontEnd, the Image Assistant Toolbar appears attached under it:
Image
How can we temporarily prevent the toolbar from appearing when an Image is selected?
Maybe using this:
image = RandomImage[]; SetOptions[RasterBox, RasterBoxOptions -> {ImageEditMode -> False}]; image
Not sure if this is the "recommended way", but it seems to work for me.
