Not sure if this is the best way or not.
I have found with XSLX, it's much easier to unzip the file and go through the media directory and grab an image that I need rather than trying to do it with the POI API. It's a hack but it works.

Dear all:

I'm a complete noob usign Apache POI so I may be making some sort of
complete dunderheaded move, but I've done a bit of experimentation and
spent a few hours going through the Javadocs and I'm unable to see how
to extract Picture objects from an existing XLS or XLSX spreadsheet.

HSSFCell.getCellType() and XSSFCell.getCellType() both return
CELL_TYPE_BLANK for cells containing an image.

While I can get the picture data itself with HSSFWorkbook.getAllPictures()
I don't see any method for associating a HSSFPictureData object with
a cell.  I'm sure I'm missing something astoundingly obvious but
I don't see it.

Is there a way to do this that I'm missing?

Thanx.
