You can create a named query that brings back the image bytes. If you are using MySQL, convert it to base64 in the query with TO\_BASE64(ImageData).

Bind the source property of the perspective image component to the named query.

Do the following script transform:

```auto
b64Image = "data:imagef;base64,%s"%value
	
return b64Image

```
