A lot of it depends on the format of the image.  I've had success with .jpg images but not with anything else.  We use Oracle and work from regular blob fields, but you may have to use the Image field type in SQL Server to get it to work.  Basically, you drag the field onto the report and Crystal knows it's an image so it uses an image object.
