However, on the site, i am currently storing images in the database, purely

to scrap that and store the images on the file system?
Yes, I certainly reckon that. Using the database can make organizing
them easier, but I usually find it pretty easy to store images on the
file system and only put the directory structure, filename in the
database. It is much easier on the database too.

Unix is like a toll road on which you have to stop every 50 feet to
pay another nickel. But hey! You only feel 5 cents poorer each time.
