I've heard that having large images near the top of the page can stop web crawlers from searching a page and then they could leave? Is this true?

no problem with large images but you can use the alt tag for it.

Image size does not affect crawling of your site. You should use a good keyword rich alt tag for that image instead, which will help you…

There is no problem in using images.But you should Alt tag on images.

search engines spiders cant read/see images... Large images are also the reason for slow page loading (depends on the file size)
