why are images in reports so low quality?

[Wozzzzza]

i have a series of thumbnail bitmap images that are pretty damn good quality when viewed in paint or any other program but as soon as i put them into a report their quality is awful to the point i cannot hand this to a customer like it is. the image size is not changing, its just awful looking, like its changed from 32 bit to 8 bit or something or less. When i use the same images in a form it is perfect, no problems.
What is the problem with reports? how can i fix it??

I should have said "informative". The problem most times is specific to OS'. Have a look at Stephen Leban's way of handling this:

Also, how does it show when it's printed?
