Hi Pat,
Occasionally I'd like to be able to note the source of a picture as
well. Currently I mainly include my source in the picture filename.
eg all the photos I've scanned from my aunt's photo albums begin
"eva###" where the ### is sequential numbers.
Legacy currently doesn't have the ability to source a picture. It
simply wasn't thought of by the programmers when they began. Legacy 6
included sourcing for other bits of information that were being
stored by the program but weren't able to be sourced - like the "never married"
During the last few years sourcing has been seen as more and more
important. One of the reasons I swapped to Legacy years ago was the
superior sourcing ability. The first genealogy computer program I
used didn't have any provision for sources at all.
Being able to source pictures is on the requested enhancements list.
You could be very professional and use the IPTC embedded fields to
record the data. This of course doesn't show in Legacy but does
travel with the pic.

Yes, I know how to do that. I just don't know how to attach to the
image a citation that will show up in the Master Source List -- and
as everyone has pointed out, it's not possible to do that. I'd like
to know WHY!!
