Douglas, 

1) it seems far far ago, Andy have solve this task.
    may be search list archive.

2) on Valentina APP download page, look on some third party example, that
describe very interesting things about scanned pictures...If I am not
mistake it can contains code to work with pictures via AS.

3) check in VAPP archive third party examples

I am sorry, I just do not remember exactly where this info is.
And note, you should use Picture field, not BLOB.
