When you take pictures with the Picture field in a CartoMobile file, the App places the photos in a folder next to the layer shape files with a name of the shape file and "-Pictures" appended to it.
Inside of the shape files, CartoMobile uses a text field to store the partial path of the file relative to the shape file. Therefore, if you copy the shape file components and the folder to the same folder on your disk, the references to the picture files (stored as JPEGs) will be consistent.
The ability to display and manipulate the pictures will be dependent upon the software you are using. If you are using Cartographica for macOS, the companion product to CartoMobile, here is how this would be done.
