In my report, there is a sub-report which contains images that are loaded from a database BLOB (using ADO.NET).
This works pretty well, except for the fact that the images are printed vertically instead of horizontally.
I
have tried checking the "multiple columns" option in the detail
section's properties, and I've also experimented with the width of the
section - but to no avail.
No matter what I do, the images will still be printed vertically.
What am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately, I haven't come across this problem before. Hopefully someone else here has and can give you some advice.
I wonder, is this an APS.NET app? Maybe you can check the page source and see how what formatting tags its sending to the browser.

Yes, it was ASP.NET's fault... I had to restart IIS for it to reload the DLL that contains my report.
So now I've finally managed to arrange the images horizontally.
But how can I center them on the page?
Let's say there's space for three images, but the database (my ADO.NET DataSet) only contains two images. Then I want those two images to be centered on the page (or right-aligned, I'll have to find out what looks better).
I've already set the sub-reports alignment accordingly, so that the sub-reports title is aligned correctly in design mode.
But when I print the report, the images will still be left-aligned.
Where's the option I haven't found yet?

Well, I've never tried this before (I'll let you be the guniea pig!). It's easy to put a textbox on the crystal report and then add data fields to it so that they are always lined up next to each other (self concatenating). Can you do the same with images? If so, set the textbox to be centered. It's a long-shot, but will only take a minute to find out if it works or not.
