Is there any way in Crystal Reports(v11, if this matters) to prevent the images from stretching itself to fit in the whole OLE-object? I'm loading the images dynamically from a database and don't know their aspect ratio.
Thanks for help.

You need to check Can grow and, in the Image tab, set the size exactly like the object box's size. You also have to set the bitmap image size (right-click on the box, choose Bitmap Image Object then Modify) to the image limits (500x500). I know, that's sad...
Insert the image in your report then right click on the image and go in 'Format Graphic'--Picture tab under this there is a 'size'. Adjust width and height according to your requirement.
In Crystal Reports Designer, click on File\Printer Setup. Change the orientation by clicking on the button next to the word 'Landscape' Click on OK and the Design view of the report should change to reflect the Landscape Orientation (ruler should increase to 11")

To make the image resize properly, you must perform the following steps in order:
If you get these items in the wrong order, or skip an item, you will find that Crystal Reports scales the image in unexpected and unrecoverable ways.

The Crystal OLE object, which shows pictures from files, can only be set programmatically so for a 'pull' type report, where you are supplying a dynamic image name, of either portrait or landscape orientation, at least one of those orientations will get squashed to fit. It is better, IMHO, to show thumbnails and then have a calculated hyperlink to show the real picture in some decent viewer. You will spend an unreasonable amount of time trying to get the OLE object that shows pictures to understand that your image has a different aspect ratio. As long as it is at least reasonably legible that may have to suffice.
