white background image changes after saving

[voodoojon]

I set up some reports which included an image, imported from a .bmp of grey text on a white background. when later printing I noticed that the white image appears to be very light blue, despite it being perfect white in the bmp. I tried various resizing/importing options, and it appeared to print fine until I saved and reloaded the report. After reloading The image appears light blue on screen, and unsurprisingly also prints light blue again. Obviously I need to be able to save the report, so how can I stop this happening? Has anyone encountered this before?

thanks in advance

try saving the image with a different format before hand jpeg is usually best and is also light in size. Make sure the the white is still white after the conversion and then re-import it.

I got it by saving as a different format (tif), then resaving as a bmp. apparently crystal had a problem with the original bmp format. I avoid jpeg cos I worry that compression might have some adverse effects and size isn't an issue.
