Re: [LegacyUG] .PDF versus .JPG
Sara and Others: I have been following this discussion with interest, trying to decide whether I wanted to add my two cents to this discussion. I am a retired printer and could write a book on using the proper type of files. But I will try to keep this short. First let me say that I am a big fan of PDF files. They are very reliable and are not really slow, when used in the proper way. As to the application (scanned census page) that started this discussion, no do not use a PDF(Portable Document File). The key thing here is document not image. If the file is a scanned file i.e. image or picture then a JPG or TIF would be the desired format. A PDF is used to transport a whole page or pages of a document. It is usually the result of printing a document not scanning it. While it may contain images(pictures) it is usually mostly text. It should be noted that most of the printed items that you received in the mail were probably a PDF file at sometime. As to using PDFs as web pages, the display will be somewhat slower then a jpeq, if the PDF was printed and not scanned it will generally be clearer. The advantage of making PDF files rather the making HTML files is that the PDF file is a single file. I could go on, but that should be enough for now.

RE: [LegacyUG] .PDF versus .JPG
Dale Thanks for your thorough explanation. If you and others don't mind I would appreciate your advice with a couple more image related issues that affect my Legacy workings. I will soon be wrapping up my scanning and attaching photographs, thankfully. It has been a huge undertaking as my photo inventory is in the thousands. I'm thankful to have all these old family photos, but identifying, dating, and numbering each seemed never-ending. These were all single page images as most photos are. Soon I will be scanning letters, multiple page images. Do you have a recommendation on how best to accomplish this if the intent is to attach these multiple page images to Legacy? I'd prefer attaching each multiple page letter as a single file. The second question relates to .TIF versus .JPG. I realize .TIF files offer greater detail than .JPGs, but result in larger file sizes. In your opinion given most original images fall within the size range of 2x4 to 8x10 inches, what advantage would there be to using .TIF for Legacy images (if printing back to original size is all that is desired)? And a follow-up, in your opinion what is the most practical .JPG scan resolution needed for this size? I don't mean for this to get into a .TIF versus .JPG debate, it is likely purists would support the .TIF argument if space limitations were of no consequence. But even if space is not an issue, I'm wondering if there is a point of diminishing return given the more common acceptance of .JPG images. Particularly given the intent of only restoring an image to its original size (normally up to an 8x10). Sorry if you feel this stretches the limit of the Legacy UserGroup list, but to me getting the image thing as close to right, up front, will prevent spending time correcting how they were posted to Legacy later. Thanks again for everyone's opinion. Hope others will also find the answers useful.

[LegacyUG] Recording an Engagment/Engagement Announcement
Where do other users record an Engagement or the public announcement of it? It makes some sense to include it as a Marriage Event because it is something which applies to both of a couple, but if you do that a report reads Noted Events in their marriage were ... Engagement... which is a bit silly. On the other hand, if you enter is an individual's Event you need to enter it twice, once for each party, which seems like overkill. Having just written that, it occurred to me that the solution is to enter it as a Marriage Event and change the wording on reports to read something like Noted events related to their marriage were.

RE: [LegacyUG] .PDF versus .JPG
Gary: In response to your question concerning multiple page scanned letters as a single file. This would be a challenge I would think. I did a little trial on this and perhaps this could be done by placing each scan on a page in a Word document and add this a sound file as someone suggested for handling a PDF. In regards to TIF versus JPG, assuming that you are not planning publishing this a book and would view the items on your computer screen a JPG is going to be adequate. Keep in mind that at some point in time it may be that you may want to show these items as a DVD or something simular on a plasma or LCD large screen TV. I would think that a 150-200 dpi scan saved as medium resolution JPG would be adequate. You may wish to try a simple test to see what works. By the way in scanning letters and old documents you may wish to scan as color and not black white. Your file will be about 3 times bigger but the results are so much more readable. I hope this helps a little. Dale -- Original message -- From: Olds-Wills-Anderson-Simonson Hodges-Harris-Liikala-Jukkara [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dale Thanks for your thorough explanation.

I'd prefer attaching each multiple page letter as a single file. The second question relates to .TIF versus .JPG. I realize .TIF files offer greater detail than .JPGs, but result in larger file sizes. In your opinion given most original images fall within the size range of 2x4 to 8x10 inches, what advantage would there be to using .TIF for Legacy images (if printing back to original size is all that is desired)? And a follow-up, in your opinion what is the most practical .JPG scan resolution needed for this size? I don't mean for this to get into a .TIF versus .JPG debate, it is likely purists would support the .TIF argument if space limitations were of no consequence. But even if space is not an issue, I'm wondering if there is a point of diminishing return given the more common acceptance of .JPG images. Particularly given the intent of only restoring an image to its original size (normally up to an 8x10). Sorry if you feel this stretches the limit of the Legacy UserGroup list, but to me getting the image thing as close to right, up front, will prevent spending time correcting how they were posted to Legacy later. Thanks again for everyone's opinion. Hope others will also find the answers useful. Gary

I exported a gedcom to Rootsweb World Connect. All went well to establish a focus group and follow the instructions except for the following problem. All sorts of four letter codes such as OBJT and references to my numerous photos were listed with every individual which had photos. I know I can remove this from Rootsweb, but uncertain as to how to do it. Also how can I prevent this from happening when I prepare the gedcom on Legacy? Did you tick the box for excluding Pictures, Sound and Video when you exported the Gedcom from Legacy? In the main Gedcom Export window click on Customise... and the lower half of the next screen displays all sorts of things you can exclude from the export. -- Jenny M Benson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in 'Family View'
Gary, I put a lot of notes into the General Notes section, and I just reference the author and title, or abbreviated title if it's long, above each section to let others (and myself) know what source was used for each section of information. Then I attach the sources which will give the entire source information at the end of the report. Most of my notes are not really events and wouldn't fit there very well. Everyone has a different way of entering information that fits their needs - this is just one other way.

Is there a common method in practice for linking a note statement to Source? I thought perhaps prefacing the new note paragraph with a notation such as Note 1 would work, then referencing Note 1 in Source Detail. Thoughts? Further. If using the above method (Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, etc), should it be necessary to make a note private, it could be an obvious omission if the note references skipped from Note 3 to Note 5 for instance in an individual's report. Has anyone run across this possibility and discovered a way to avoid it? Thanks Gary Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

RE: [LegacyUG] .PDF versus .JPG
Thanks for your input Dale and for eveyone's questions. I've got a lot out of this thread. Foxy Original Message Follows In response to your question concerning multiple page scanned letters as a single file. This would be a challenge I would think. I did a little trial on this and perhaps this could be done by placing each scan on a page in a Word document and add this a sound file as someone suggested for handling a PDF. In regards to TIF versus JPG, assuming that you are not planning publishing this a book and would view the items on your computer screen a JPG is going to be adequate. Keep in mind that at some point in time it may be that you may want to show these items as a DVD or something simular on a plasma or LCD large screen TV. I would think that a 150-200 dpi scan saved as medium resolution JPG would be adequate. You may wish to try a simple test to see what works. By the way in scanning letters and old documents you may wish to scan as color and not black white. Your file will be about 3 times bigger but the results are so much more readable. I hope this helps a little. _ Advertisement: Fresh jobs daily. Stop waiting for the newspaper.
