I have a problem importing an image into an Image Container and then plotting it using `sc.pl.spatial`.

What I did is:

`hi` is the the path to `.png` file, and `scale` is `0.048109304`, which is `tissue_hires_scalef`.

```auto
imag_hi = sq.im.ImageContainer(hi, scale = 0.048109304, layer = 'hires')

imag_hi.compute()

print(type(imag_hi["hires"].data))

img_array = imag_hi['hires'].data

data_r.uns[spatial_key][library_id]["images"] = {"hires": img_array}

sc.pl.spatial(data_r, color='leiden', scale_factor = 0.048109304)

```

**I get an error:** `TypeError: Invalid shape (1335, 2000, 1, 3) for image data`

Help would be appreciated. Thank you!!
