Most programmers here will agree that you should NOT use a General field. It takes up too much space, and it is difficult to get a picture back out.
The usual recommendation is to keep the picture as a separate file, for example, a JPG file. In the database, you will only have the name of the picture file.
You can show this picture on the form, with an Image control. You will need some commands to update the picture on the Image control, for example, when you change to another record.
