Sherry:
Thanks for the detailed explanation. It was extremely helpful and I
will follow your advice. I'm sure others will benefit from it as well.

I don't know which training video you're referring to but my recommendation
has always been to make sure that the file size of pictures you link to in
Legacy is no larger than 150-200 KB in size.
That resolution is fine for documents and web pages. To publish, you don't
need a high resolution picture. Those are only necessary if you're doing
editing or making big enlargements.
If you link a lot of pictures with larger file sizes to a Picture Gallery,
it can really bog down the Picture Gallery when it's opened.
Save the TIF or BMP as archive copies for storage and editing and make a
smaller jpg for linking to in Legacy - those pictures could be stored in the
c:\Legacy\Pictures folder or can reside next to the TIF or BMP formats in
the same folder.
Since Sound, Video and Files attachments don't redraw thumbnails, there's
not a problem with larger file sizes of those attachments.
Thanks for using Legacy.

According to one of the training videos you should use either .bmp or .tiff
files. The reasosn is that .jpg files loose data and quality if you edit
them.
