Laurel, I am reminded now, by looking at my own data, that subsequent citations only seem to work for SourceWriter sources, not with Basic sources. You could request a Legacy enhancement to at least drop the media from subsequent Basic sources. In the meantime, have you considered attaching the picture to the source Detail instead of the Master? That way you could attach it to only one of the citations, instead of all of them.
As an aside, it seems unusual to have a birth certificate in a Master source. More common would be for the master to represent a collection, and the individual certificate to be in the Detail portion of the citation. You can still easily cite the certificate more than once, using the source clipboard. One further thought: Do the readers of your reports really need to ever see a picture at all within source footnotes? Especially when it is hard to read. You can still attach the picture for your internal reference, without choosing to display it in the report citations. Also, pictures that do display well, like photos of people, can optionally be attached to an event, in which case they will show up just once.

I will contact Support about my emails. The situation was a Master Source repeating on the reports right after the exact Master Source before it -- with the same picture of the birth certificate repeated. I could handle the repeating Source if the picture didn't repeat. It just seems a whole big mess of citations compared to the older version. Thanks again.
