Usually, having the Top left-hand edge of the pic in the report header allows it to feature in the whole sheet. Don't worry if you drag the bottom RH corner down through detail and group bands. You will be prompted for the pic path from a dialogue.

>>You say detail band is only 0.6, but there are more than one detail band on the report when it runs, right? So the report won't be just 5.1 cm when run. If not, then make your footer deeper, with the text part at the bottom.

>>Whatever, size the pic as you wish (attention to Tore's reply). You can drag it up the report while you lengthen the bottom. When you place the TL corner in your header it shouldn't matter that you can't see the bottom of the pic. DO a print preview and "suck it and see".

Well, essentially as I've just said. If you wish, you can temporarily drag the footer down lower, as you slot your picture in, then drag it back up to where it was. Now the bottom of the pic won't be visible in design mode. Then "suck it and see".
PS You made need to send to back the picture too, lest it overlaps your fields.
