I use TIF format almost exclusively for the images I attach in Legacy
(census, scans of documents, photographs, etc.). Most of these files
are way over 200KB - in fact they are all in the 3-5 MB range. I have
never had a problem with Legacy handling, saving, or displaying these
images. They all print fine, display in the program with no problem,
and export very nicely when I create html web pages.
My computer is running Windows XP (SP2) and has 2GB of RAM. Not the
most powerful one around but it gets the job done.

receive a large picture that I want to print on a Legacy report I :
1. Save the original to .tif and file it away.
2. Make a copy in .tif format, make changes as needed and then make it as
small as possible with the detail I need.
3. When finished I save it to .jpg in a special legacy picture folder that
is what I attach to Legacy. In reports Legacy can only print a picture about
the size of a large postage stamp.
Just how I do it.
