Hi, There is one more option if you wanna use it. Instead of storing image into DB you can store image location into it and at the time of fetching it use the stored location.

Dear V, There are couple of techniques which are widely accepted by the industry. One of them is FPA - Function Point Analysis. I personally prefer it because of the accurate estimates. It requires little effort from PM side. If you dont want to put so much of efforts you can go for "Lines of Code". Based on your experience estimate the lines of code for the current project and calculate the resources. Although it does not consider the complexity of the functionality and profociency of resource working on it. Where FPA considers complexity as well as proficiency. That is why it provides accurate results. Thanks Taral Soni
