Hello,

I would like to save jpg images from urls similar to the one below to  
a field defined as a blob, but I am not sure how to code it.

![image 15943-0](http://images.mywebsite.com/5f52f047f131d.jpg)

Is this how it should be coded if the url was extracted?

image\_file = Image.new  
image\_file.blob\_image\_field = open([http://images.mywebsite.com/](http://images.mywebsite.com/)  
5f52f047f131d.jpg)  
image\_file.save

Thanks,

Frank
