I'd like to insert an image on crystal report that has transparency. However in CR the transparent portions show up as white and cover over whatever color is behind the image.
I hunted about for setting on the image format but cant find one. Does anyone have an idea I might try?

When I'm inserting our company logo into Oracle Report there is a grey background on the logo. The logo is file type BMP, I have tried different file types like JPEG and TIFF as well. The issue still remains the grey background.
Below is the example of that grey background.
As you can see the portion which has the logo has a grey background whereas the background of the report is white. This is totally against our company guidelines and I've been told to find a solution for this. Please advise how can I remove the grey background.
Thanks
if you want to remove the background of the image then use an editing tool like photoshop and then remove the background and save the image as png then convert into bmp and then use it in your report.
I am using Lazarus.
I have put 2 images on a form and synchronized their positions and sizes.
I can textout to both images, and after I made the ontop image transparent I can see the combined content of both images.
I can add further text to the bottom image and see it, but I can't see text I try to add to the transparent image.
I used the following code to make the top image transparent
image2.picture.Bitmap.TransparentColor:=clWhite;
image2.transparent:=true;
I guess I need to play with the image bitmap, but I can't find a solution that is not using other software.
Can someone help me with this please?

if you want to remove all the white from the picture, better go to color range and sample white. layer via cut and delete the layer. and save it in png as #cybernatic.nomad said, supports transparency.
Make sure you have created your image on a new layer and delete (or hide) the first white layer. I just created a simple text on a new layer with a transparent background and then loaded the image back into Photoshop to confirm that it works properly. As per previous comment I use .png format to preserve transparency.
On my site I have several hundred images in jpg format, with a white background area (in the image itself). This has worked fine as the html/body background was also white. Images appeared to be transparent that way.
Now, I am about to change the site theme and these same images will now have a light grey html/body background color. I have tried to use the css rule mix-blend-mode: multiply; to make the white areas in the images transparent. This works fine in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11).
Any suggestions on how to work around this? Just to be clear, it's not the image overall opacity I want to fix, it's only the white area in the jpg images that I want to make transparent.
If no solution is possible I will have to change the format to png or gif with transparency. That would take days to accomplish...
We have a sprite of many icons which is 10564px x 80px. The icons are arranged horizontally.
In every other browser except IE10 the icons/images show up when being used as background images for tags with specific CSS to apply the relevant position.
When viewed in IE10 they do not show up at all and actually when you try to view the png file directly from the URL in IE10 it doesn't show either.
Any ideas?
After extensive testing, it turns out it's a limitation on the width of the PNG canvas and IE10.
PNG images would work and can be viewed right up until 8000px wide but no more than that, after that they just don't render.
After more testing it's related to whether or not they are transparent. PNGs with transparency just don't show at all whereas images without transparency show as a black block (canvas).
Whether or not MS will fix this remains to be seen... we live in hope!
The fix for us is to reduce the width of our sprite to 8000px and have two or more rows of icons/images well spaced out.
The fixes is only to separate the each individual image as single with minimum size, which will be less than 8000px wide;
