<snip> Connie, Suppose a distant cousin is interested in 1/8 or less of your collection of family pictures. How do you copy the branch pictures? If you send a DVD with
"all" pictures, how does another researcher copy the right pictures with captions to a different genealogy program? </snip> Hi E.Rodier, My original post was how I organize my photos on my hard drive for use in Legacy. I use Legacy for what it does best... record research data. I use another program (Adobe Elements v4 and the included Photo Organizer) for most of my photo work. Using my filing system (I just sent a more detailed reply to Diane under the subject line of 'Back to Photo Basics") it is easy to select (by surname) the photos to include in a CD to send to a distant cousin (without any additional photo program), but with using Adobe's Photo Organizer the job is simplified considerably. Hopefully I won't stray 'off Legacy topic' too much by mentioning the Adobe program. The Photo Organizer provides a wonderful tool (tagging) where you can 'tag' each photo with basically a limitless number of custom tags. Within the program I tag all photos with the surname(s) and often with other data (such as first name, location, timeframe, etc). Then if I want to burn a CD or DVD with only Batson photos, or with only Missouri photos or with only William Batson photos 'in' Missouri I select those tags and viola... A custom CD or DVD with only the info I selected is burned :-) Hope that helps :-) Connie Connie's Family History Pages http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyhistorypages Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
