I wasn’t familiar with Tribal Pages so I went to their website and forum. See the link below for a posting that seems to address your question.
The short answer appears to be ‘No’. The posting is referring to a ‘Backup GEDCOM’ and seems to imply that the Tribal Pages GEDCOM does not accommodate pictures. That makes sense because all a GEDCOM does for pictures is provide a link to the picture, and that picture is on their site. If it is on your computer as well (Legacy, and most desktop programs require the picture to be on your local computer) , Tribal Pages doesn’t know where it is so it could not include it their GEDCOM. http://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/forum?f=1 <http://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/forum?f=1&v=1&mid=77550&rid=77530> &v=1&mid=77550&rid=77530 Legacy should be able to import the GEDCOM assuming it’s in the proper format, but I think the pictures need to be linked manually to the copy you have on your own computer. If the pictures are only stored online, it would be a separate process to download them from TP and I can’t answer how that would be done. But welcome to Legacy! I think you have some conversion challenges, but you will be quite happy (I hope) with Legacy when you complete the conversion.
