RE: saving images
Check out the APPEND GENERAL command in the help file.
FWIW, and this is only my preference, but I never use General fields. If I have a need to reference an outside file for each record, i.e. an image,spreadsheet,etc., then instead of using a General field to store the actual object, I use a memo field to store the path to the file.

RE: saving images
I fully support Jon in saying the best way to handle graphic and other such files is through a reference to an outside file.
You could try the Kodak Image Edit Control as an alternative means of displaying your images.
It's scrollable with a zoom facilty, will flip, rotate, print etc.
Documentation is sparse but there is a downloadable example at the UniversalThread website in the files section, under the title of "Wang" or similar.
