[Qgis-user] Report Layout strange behaviour with photos

[Håvard Tveite]

Including photos / images in reports is covered by the documentation.

See:
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/create_reports.html#including-pictures-in-a-report

It worked for me.
It should now also be possible to use images stored in a BLOB field.
