Under app/examples/Database there is the old PictureDatabase example which
taught me how to do it. You take your Image, save it to a temporary file
and then get the bytes from File.Load() into the Blob.

I don't think there are methods on Image or Picture that allow to do it
in-memory (but there should be).
