Daphne, I am with Jenny on this one. Using photo editing software, I also crop the photo to show one person and use the name and RIN of the person as the filename.
I find the following works for books in the Publishing Center: I crop the person from the group photo and resize it to 1.5" tall x 1.5" wide @ 300 pixels per inch. I then merge a youth photo on the left side and an adult (later in life) on the right side which makes it 1.5" tall x 3" wide. When I only have one photo I center it as 1.5" x 1.5" within the 3" width with white space on both sides. In the Publishing Center:> Report Options> Pictures> Picture Options. I select "Custom Picture area: Width [3] Inches", Picture Reduction Width is set to "Original size". As Leon said you can only print a single photo in book reports. You could extend the above concept to include more than two photos of a person by merging several photos into one. What you must keep in mind is the Report options photo size option is GLOBAL. That is why I put a single photo into the center of 1.5 x 3. If you used a single photo as 1.5 x 1.5 it would print as 3" x 3" using "Custom Picture area: Width [3] Inches" in my example above.
