Empty space after adding an image

Question

After adding an image I have an empty space. How can it be reduced? I used \FloatBarrier. But it did not worked.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
   \usepackage{fancyhdr}
   \usepackage{graphicx}
   \usepackage{placeins}
   \begin{document}
   \FloatBarrier
   \subsection{ddd}
      \begin{figure}[ht]
         \begin{center}
            \includegraphics[width=9cm,height=5.5cm]{sss.jpg}
         \end{center}
         \begin{center}
            \caption[ddd ]{ ddd }
         \end{center}
      \end{figure}
      \FloatBarrier
      In English, the word datum is still used in the general
       sense of "an item given".
      In cartography, geography, nuclear magnetic
\end{document}

I only used these packages, \usepackage[left=1.5in,top=1in,right=1in,bottom=5em]{geometry} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{ragged2e} \usepackage{mathptmx} \usepackage{setspace} \usepackage{placeins} \usepackage[font=bf,labelfont={sf,bf}]{caption}%Figure Caption Bold \usepackage{subfigure} \usepackage{sectsty} \usepackage{titlesec} Actually I need to reduce the vertical empty space after the image.what i need to use for that? — Emalka, Mar 09 '13 at 03:45
Please post your complete and minimal code. Remove any unrelated packages. — Masroor, Mar 09 '13 at 04:17

@emalka You're supposed to provide the MWE in your question. I've copied your MWE and pasted it in your question. — , Mar 09 '13 at 05:52

Apart of use of \centering of Werner answer, you can also control the space below the captions with \belowcaptionskip (for example \belowcaptionskip-1em) in the preamble or adjust manually a particular space with a negative \vspace (for example \vspace{-1cm}) in the text under the float.

However, to obtain an elegant format, simply use \centering.

I need to only enhance the vertical space between two images....not all images in the document.\vspace{-1cm} this reduce space.so what i need to do for enhance the space.\vspace{10cm} this not worked. – Emalka Mar 09 '13 at 08:30

You should avoid using the center environment to align your content. Specifically, use \centering to centre content within a floating environment like figure:

enter image description here

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\subsection{ddd}
\begin{figure}[ht]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=9cm,height=5.5cm]{example-image-a}
  \end{center}
  \begin{center}
    \caption[ddd ]{ ddd }
  \end{center}
\end{figure}
In English, the word datum is still used in the general
 sense of ``an item given.''
In cartography, geography, nuclear magnetic.

\newpage

\subsection{ddd}
\begin{figure}[ht]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=9cm,height=5.5cm]{example-image-a}
  \caption[ddd ]{ ddd }
\end{figure}
In English, the word datum is still used in the general
 sense of ``an item given.''
In cartography, geography, nuclear magnetic.
\end{document}

See Should I use center or \centering for figures and tables?.

It worked..thank u... I also need to create space between inserted two images.. \vspace{10.00mm} is not worked. \begin{figure}[h!] \centering .............. \end{figure} \vspace{10.00mm} \begin{figure}[h!] \centering .............................. \end{figure} – Emalka Mar 09 '13 at 08:00
@emalka: The space between floats and other floats (or other textual elements on a page) is governed by specific lengths. In your case it is \floatsep. So you could \setlength{\floatsep}{10mm}. For a more general discussion, see the layouts documentation (section 6.2 Detailed float layout and Figure 13), or How to change the spacing between figures/tables and text? or Space after float with [h]. – Werner Mar 09 '13 at 15:43
