I consider this form of image processing to be quite inefficient. Example: a typical JPG image of one of the shoes we produce may consume, say, 50 KB. When I insert this image into a general field, it immediately uses over 1 MB - a factor of about 20.
Therefore, I strongly suggest leaving the picture as a JPG-file, and having just the filename in your database.
Back to your original question: I think you have to MODIFY GENERAL, in a user-defined window.
