[Qgis-user] Composer Atlas: How get rid of the big red cross when there is no image?

[DelazJ]

Hi,
what about using the data-defined option near the "Exclude items from
export" in the items properties --> Rendering (with a case when expression)?
http://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/composer_items/composer_items_options.html#rendering-mode
