I use the built in image control to view imported pictures. I use an old LeadTools product to resize the image to 800x600 before storing it. Is your customers images from a 12 megapixel or higher camera?
You could use one of the available ways to reduce the image size for displaying in your normal form. Then have a way to view the full size image. Enabling scrollbars on a form? Good luck on your quest.

As we all should know, the VFP OLE image control is...a bit long in the tooth. I just ran across an issue today with a client who was complaining that just recently some of his beautiful images are turning into pixelated goo. Of course, trying to figure out what is the underlying root cause is problematic at best. The display mechanism is reading a file from disk and using it as the source for a standard VFP OLE image control. So whilst I once again start my research out on the greater internet, I look to the collective wisdom here. Anybody using a 3rd party image control that does not have the underlying problems that come with using a native Windows control stuck in ~2003? Or otherwise have any other solutions for displaying JPGs in their UI?
