Hi,  
I have images stored in a table as binary (decoded/encoded base64) and  
wish  
to render them in a browser as varying image formats (jpg, png etc etc  
etc).  
I have tried Fleximage but am having absolutely no joy with that at all.  
Can  
anyone recommended a plugin which will enable me to do this?

–  
Regards

Andrew
