Having Proportional Image Scaling and Maximum Image Size.

[asmetana]

I have a CR 8.5 report that contains images from an Oracle BLOB field. Using "Can Grow" on the format tab will do proportional scale. However the image field is sized for the first image and if some later image is larger than the first, it will over flow the space allowed for the image. If instead I do not allow "can grow", all the images fit in the space but some proportions are distorted.

Is there a way to have proportional scaling and constrain the maximum image size at the same time so all the images have the correct proportions and fit in the image space?

Thanks.

Hi Asmetana,

I'm having a similar problem with my blob images and am wondering whether you ever found a solution.

Sange,
I never found an adequate solution other than to resize the images so they were all approximately the same size.
I have been working some with Oracle Reports and it seems to do a better job with images (although it has its own problems).
