Edit

the EXIF Data seems to be the cause, still investigating :)

Answer 1

The image needs to be in Base64 encoding in order to render in SSRS.

Here is a VB.NET function that will do the encoding. You can probably optimize, I just pasted an old function of mine.

Public Function ConvertImageToBase64String(ByVal img As Image) As String
    Dim output As String = ""
    Dim outputArray() As Byte
    Dim stream As New MemoryStream
    img.Save(stream, Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
    outputArray = stream.ToArray()
    stream.Close()
    output = Convert.ToBase64String(outputArray)
    Return output
  End Function

Answer 2

i solved the problem by re-encoding the whole image with System.Drawing.Bitmap not a perfect solution but it works for now.
