When I use the Asset as the type for the cf_spProperty where I would like to
give the individual the ability to select a photo, I get a Number stored in that
field in the database. If I use Picker instead, then I get a UUID value in the
field of the database. When the type is Picker, then the image gets uploaded to
the server and within the Edit Screen of the admin.cfm I am able to view the
picture even though it is 3456 x 2500 pixels in size. If I use the Asset value I
do not view the picture in this edit screen.

I am currently on the 20070706 version of SpeckCMS.
