Hi there,

I am also very interested in the answer to Suzanne's question - now
that we will be moving to Crystal XI when upgrading to TMS 9.35, I'd
like to get away from having to use embedded thumbnails in report and
use filename/path instead.  Our on-line files are of varying sizes and
sources, so I'd like to do the scaling in the report rather than in the
image (for example, scaling to a 2-inch square space and maintaining
aspect resolution, regardless of the source image size).

I'm trying to avoid scaling all the images with photoshop in advance of
using the report (I would have to identify which images needed scaling).
 Also each fact sheet will have to incorporate not just the image but
also selection of fields (all the "boiler plate" stuff) - and I want to
be able to generate the report using an object package.


Unless you think I can scale dynamically within Crystal?


Still hopeful....

  well. there is a rather hidden function in photoshop, ( I really
suggest you use Photoshop )

pixels you need for correct resolution.

 hope that this will help

Ämne: image scaling?



Hi all,

 I'm working on creating a fact sheet to 'print out' as a pdf.


 Using crystal 11.


 Here is the rub.  My 3300+ images range between 100KB and 4MB.


 Have any of you found a way to dynamically adjust the scaling of an
image depending on its file size?


 Thanks for any little pointers (or big ones!)
