Title: jpg's transferred to FileMaker

Is there a way to keep the .jpg format to pictures brought into a FileMaker document?
I’ve tried “inserting” v. dragging, but it doesn’t seem to give me that option. I therefore drag them in as a jpg but when I pull them off the FM document, their a picture clipping.
I’m using FM 5.5

Thanks in advance.
