Title:
Reducing the size of BMP files
I'm having a problem with image files in my VFP/Crystal Reports application. Images are being stored seperately, with the fully qualified file name being stored as a field in my table. These images are all JPG files generated from a digital camera. I've been having wierd results displaying them in a Crystal Reports report (I posted last week and got no responses - basically, it was workign great until I upgraded to Win2K and now it only displays an icon that has to be clicked to display the actual image - not so good for printing). Ignoring the fact that it says on the Crystal Decisions support page that CR8 DOES support JPG images, I decided to try BMP files - hey, it works. So I incorporated Neil Tonkin's VFPImage conversion library to convert the image to BMP as the report data is generated. So far so good, except that Crystal does not seem to resize BMP files properly. Reducing should not cause loss of image quality - I can reduce BMP files on a web page, or in Paint Shop Pro, with no quality loss. So, does anyone know how to ix this in Crystal, or does anyone know of another graphics library that I can add to my VFP app that can handle a resize function? This is becoming a major headache for me. HELP!
