The main reason I don't like storing the images in the DB is because File system is much more fast then DB. FS and the web server know How to cache images while using the DB makes you access the DB for each and every picture. It's also harder to maintain cause you don't have a physical file you can Move from place to place or from dir to dir. Or just look at a bunch of Random images like you would in a directory. >From my point of view there has to be a very good reason to put images Inside a DB instead of in the file system.
