I want to save time and space by directly inserting jpeg pictures from my
files into my Access photo database instead of first converting them into
duplicate bitmap images. Is this possible? How to do it?

You have to save them as an object in an object ype field but first put a
wrapper on it.

I don't recommend diong this as it will be very slow as you add more and
more large images. Store a link to a file and keep the photos in a folder
in the file system. Just use acces forms to browse the images.

You might also try streaming them into a memo field but getting them in and
out can be a bit tricky.
