What I do with that is put the image into a folder called Group Images then link it to everyone who is in the photo. If the photo has a fairly good resolution, I take it into Photoshop and crop each person and save as separate images that can also be used in Legacy. I prefer the latter and may just use the group photo for one person especially if there are a lot of unknown people in the photo.

Do you store multiple copies in multiple folders, one for each person? In my opinion, that's is a waste of disk space.
