Thank you for your input, I think, the only solution for us will be to resize and pad our images too! Mit herzlichen Grüßen Katharina Szlezak MMag.

When all images are padded square, they appear centered on reports. For the larger size images dynamically pulled into some of our reports, we use a photoshop action to normalize the resolutions (72 or 150, depending on the original resolution), then Expression Media to pad the images square to specific pixel H and W. We resize and pad all primary images in TMS as a weekly batch process, and run other images through this process per staff requests.

No matter what, they are left-justified relative to their shape, even if centered on the page. I wish there were a way, too.

So far I have managed to generate a report that enables them to print all fotos from an object packages in there original size at once. But as these fotos vary in size and format, I am desparately looking for a way to center (dynamic) OLE-Objects in reports/subreports, so a least they always appear in the center of the page. Actually Crystal Reports offers an "alignment" command in the formatting menue and it seems to be exactly what I need, but it is always inactive and I do not know why. Does anyone have a an idea why or how I can solve this problem? Thanks a lot for your help and my best regard, Katharina MMag.
