Yes.  TIFFs.

Look again.

    you give PICT -- this is non compressed format.

It is good idea to store it into db using
    JPG (lose quality) or TIFF (no losts) compressions.

Right ?

So Valentina is able store picture as JPG and TIFF and do self conversion.

Look, in worse case you always store anything just as BLOB.

Vpicture field this is a BLOB which know how to compress/uncompress to JPG
or TIFF formats.
