This is the way that is generally supported at the moment. Either by storing the files in a DB or exposing them via the WebDev module.

You can also put the images in `<Install Dir>\Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main` and then pull them in via bindings etc. See [here](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/display-local-image-file-in-perspective/24953/3) for more information.
