Acquiring an Image From an ImageLink/SRC

I’m experiencing a problem where depending on how an image was added to my database, it is either a Link, or a pure Image object. This is a problem, because the linked images do not work w/ a slider.


You can see, the first row is a pure image. The second row is an src/link.
The links were acquired initially by saving them to a database like this:

let fieldList = {
  "image1" : $w("#imageOnMyPage1").src,
  "image2" : $w("#imageOnMyPage2").src
}

While the Image objects are acquired by using UserInput fields in combination with a submit button.

Is there a way programmatically to convert the links into Image objects?

Thanks
