Attributes	Description
`<cstate>` (Compression State)	Specifies the compression state with which the picture is stored. This allows the application to specify the amount of compression that has been applied to a picture. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_BlipCompression simple type (§5.1.12.12).
`<embed>` (Embedded Picture Reference) Namespace: .../officeDocument/2006/relationships	Specifies the identification information for an embedded picture. This attribute is used to specify an image that resides locally within the file. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_RelationshipId simple type (§7.8.2.1).
`<link>` (Linked Picture Reference) Namespace: .../officeDocument/2006/relationships	Specifies the identification information for a linked picture. This attribute is used to specify an image that does not reside within this file. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_RelationshipId simple type (§7.8.2.1).
