Report watermark disappears when reportviewer used - visual-studio-2010

I am using crystal reports in VS 2010. I have a report with a watermark added. When I use 'main report preview' the watermark shows up just fine. When I use code to show the report it is gone.
InitializeComponent()
ReportViewer.Owner = Me
Dim durocReport As New Duroc
durocReport.SetParameterValue("registration", reg)
durocReport.SetDatabaseLogon("", "")
ReportViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = durocReport
The report shows perfectly except the watermark/background is missing, all of the data is correct.

I fixed this by cutting the resolution of the image from 300 to 85. It seems to be a file size issue. The image was also missing anytime I reloaded visual studio. It currently works, I will just have to mess around with the image quality until it looks good enough to use.

LibreOffice Writer - captions crop figures

I am creating a report meant to be read/edited by MS Word. To do that I have created it from scratch and saved as .docx.
In this report I am including some images together with captions. All of the captions were added manually. Everything went fine, I have saved the document and closed Writer.
Now I want to put my hands on it again and, upon opening the report, this is what I am seeing:. Previously the figure was showing fine inside the text box (that inserting a caption creates). The text box is in the same position and size, but there appears to be a boundary over which it just displays white. I can reduce the figure's size inside the boundary of visibility, and a glimpse of the captions appears too .
Note that the red arrow disappears too.
Needless to say, I can not work on a 100+ pages document and then check again each picture, delete it and re-create it, check again the cross references and so on. I would much rather work with LaTeX, but I am required to deliver a .docx file.
I am working on Ubuntu 20.04, Libreoffice is updated to version 6.4.6.2 and the only plugins I have equipped it are TexMath and Zotero.
Thank you for your time.
I noticed the same thing. It seems to be an issue already in Libreoffice Writer between Linux and Windows. If you create a document on Linux with a cropped image and then open the file in Libreoffice on Windows the cropping of that image is already messed up. Happens to me with Libreoffice Version 6.3.5.2.

Button image not visible

I'm trying to create a Windows 8.1 store app, and I need to add a button to it.
The button should display an image.
I add the image to the assembly in Solution Exploreras Artwork/Pencil.png
I add the button to the UI
Using the property editor for the button, I select Foreground image.
The designer shows a list of available images from the assembly, I choose the image.
The designer shows the selected image (partially).
The button remains blank.
I tryied playing around with different content types (of the image), as Content, Embedded resource, Do not copy, Copy if newer.
The image is not visible either at design or run time.
I found tons of articles from 2005 to 2012 about this problem in WPF. Tryed to change the image source (although I think the designer should set it correctly):
Pencil.png
Artwork/Pencil.png
pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Pencil.png
pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Artwork/Pencil.png
pack://application:,,,/Pencil.png
pack://application:,,,/Artwork/Pencil.png
Any ideas?
To make the environment clear:
Visual Studio 2013 Update 2
Project type: Visual C#/Store Apps/Windows Apps/Blank App
Target: Windows 8.1
It seems that the correct combination (to display an image on a Windows 8 app button) is:
set it as backbround image (as opposed to foreground)
set the file to be "PRIResource" (as opposed to "Embedded resource")
use the designer to specify the image (which will generate a reference like this "Artwork/Pencil.png")
:-(
It works design-time, but it does not work runtime.
Here's one that works both design-time and runtime:
set it as backbround image (as opposed to foreground)
set the file to be "Content", "Copy if newer"
use the designer to specify the image (which will generate a reference like this "Artwork/Pencil.png")

Large images in Crystal Reports 2008 - Memory Full

I've got a C# application targeting .net 4. The application includes some Crystal Reports reports which can be printed or previewed. My code uses:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass
There is a report, created with Crystal 2008, which dynamically fetches one or more images from the file system. I'm running into problems when those images are large.
For example:
The report is trying to include 4 images (each on their own page)
The source images (.jpgs) are 3.5 megs each
When I print or preview that report, generally the first 2 images appear, but then no more. Then if I try again I generally will not see any of the images and often get this message box (when previewing):
Crystal Reports Windows Forms Viewer
Memory full.
Not enough memory for operation.
My application is using about 600 megs at that point.
If I swap out those large images for smaller ones (about half a meg each) I'm able to view the report without any problems.
If I preview the same report, with the big images, from within the Crystal Reports 2008 editor, it works perfectly well.
So is there a limit to how many megs of image data I can put into a report when using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass? Or am I doing something wrong?
Had the same issue with reports containing more than 3 images. Solved by changing a setting in the RPT file.
Open your Crystal template, go into File -> Report Options, and unflag the "Retain Original Image Color Depth".
This will show pictures with a reduced quality, but will never make the report fail because of "Memory full". At least, that was my case.

VS 2010, Getting embedded Image from rdlc report

I designed a rdlc report. In that I embedded one image, say logo.
But I accidently deleted the orginal image in orginal location.
Now I am trying to resave the Logo from rdlc report.
In which location this rdlc's embedded image is getting stored?
The image is not stored in a physical location but in the rdl file itself. If you open the rdl file, you would find tag . It has been mentioned here.
There are a few ways of saving the image. It has already been answered in this question.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure if i understand your question.
The embedded images are stored as Base64 strings in rdlc. when you try to insert a new image in your report you have a dropdown of those images right under "use this image" or you can insert it from code
