Margaret,
There are many picture galleries in your Legacy
database. Each individual has one, each event for each individual ,
each source for each event for each individual , as well as locations.
I personally place images of birth certificates in the picture gallery
for the source citation for the birth event of the individual. But if
you wish to keep a copy of the birth certificate image in the
individual picture gallery you can. If you have only one file in the
picture gallery and you added it as a picture then Legacy will display
the thumbnail on the individuals screen next to the name. To avoid
that but still keep the file in the picture gallery , do as advised by
Lavern , to remove the file. Then add the file back as a File , not as
a Picture ( you will see there are also options for Sound and Video ).
This way, even though the file is an image ( .jpg , .bmp or similar )
Legacy will not attempt to use its internal viewer to display the
image. When you look at the individuals picture gallery you will see
just a file icon not a thumbnail of the image but if you select that
item and press play, or alternatively double click on that item ,
Legacy passes the task of displaying the file to Windows which will
use your default image viewer to display the birth certificate image.
