I think you're getting a bit too convoluted there. Or Legacy's just not up to it. A photo you're attaching to a person or event is supporting the person or event. Going one level deeper and putting a source to the picture itself, and connecting that to a person in your database is getting very complicated. Annotating photos, such as copyrights, sources, etc can be done with jpeg comments which I don't use, or IPTC which I do. Legacy doesn't read that unless you put it in the Description field before importing and even then not for sure. As things are, I would suggest putting a note somewhere in the vicinity. ----- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog On 5/31/2010 11:22 AM, Bain Family wrote: > Hello Everyone, > Having been a FTM 2005 user for years, I finally purchased Legacy and am > now wishing I had done it years ago.
