[vtkusers] Memory leak

[Jothybasu Selvaraj]

Once I have done this step

 vtkPNGReader* reader = vtkPNGReader::New();
 reader->SetFileName("/home/
doriad/test.png");
 vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageData> img = vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageData>::New();
 img->DeepCopy(reader->GetOutput());

 reader->Delete();

Is it safe to do?

img->DeepCopy(*reader2*->GetOutput());//Some other reader

Thanks

Jothy
