Well, putting the actual digital image inside the Access file is
possible, but when some of your scans are 350 MB per image, it may be
better to keep it just in the file system of the operating system.
I would suggest that a far superior tool -- an asset management
system plus a retreival and release and cleanup system -- is Adobe Lightroom.
A large photo project needs something like Lightroom.
