Bill, I am not attempting to assist with the details of the use of the Picture Gallery because I do not use it. I use the Picture Icons on the various screens. For example, I must have at least 15000 images attached to my Sources and I have no problems.
Whether you continue trying the Picture Gallery, or try other ways is your choice, personally I would have given up ages ago :-). However, you were wise to move from using TIF to JPG, as the former is really only designed for storage and quality printing. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ "William (Bill) R.
