Hi Rupert,
I don’t know Crystal much at all, and I don’t know if this is your particular problem, but we had a similar situation. We had GS create a custom report for us but the images would come up as different sizes on
the page depending on the file size of the image. Image size is something easily controllable but the file size is not. If the images were above a certain file size (1000K) they could take up more than one page which is much more than the 3” x 3” square
we had GS assign the images in the report. We were stumped, to find out what was happening, we exported the report to Crystal Reports. After looking at format editor in Crystal for the graphic (OLE object) there is a check box under the common tab that says
“can grow” once we unchecked that box the images behaved, and all of them, no matter what file size, fit neatly into their 3” x 3” assigned space.
I hope your problem has as simple a work around as ours did.

Subject: Correctly formatting images in Crystal Reports
Dear colleagues
I've inherited a Crystal Report that pulls large images into the report based on path and filename. However, these images are of differing proportions (some landscape, some portrait, etc.), and are therefore are distorted
so that they completely fill the box on the report occupied by the image OLE object. Is there any particular set of settings in the report that will show the images in their correct proportions?
With thanks and bets wishes
Rupert
