I cannot create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination - The dialog box shows that I have three exporting choices under “Output format”, namely “Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”. Below this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely: • Privatize living people • Include private facts • Include private notes • Include media files • Include tasks • Include charts, reports, and books • Include only items linked to selected individuals
When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out INCLUDING “include media files”. This also happens if I choose "GEDCOM for FTM 16". I opened the GEDCOM for FTM 16" in Word and searched for some know media images as well as for the term 'jpg' and got nothing. So the links are not included in this GEDCOM either I'm afraid.

That will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.
