Re: [LegacyUG] Return Receipts
Good advice but if you are like me - Legacy Forum is a very small percentage of my contacts. When posting to Legacy, just before sending in Outlook Express, I prefer to click Format, then Plain Text' - that way it leaves my normal email in Rich Text for all my other contacts. Cheers, Boris We should always post to Legacy in plain text regardless whether | originating or replying. | | Richard Van Wasshnova | Seal Beach, CA -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Re: [LegacyUG] PHotos
Yes, the painful problem of organization. there is no solution that fits all conditions. I found in my filing designs, that I was most successful when starting from the end, that is - How will I be looking for the object when needed. by year, or by surname, or by event, etc., and then setup the directories accordingly. For example our traveling photos, over 40,000, are setup by year. Our Legacy photos are setup by surname and then by name in sub-directories - that method matches the Legacy organization. It works for me. Cheers, Boris - Original Message - From: Glenny Thank you all for your input! My biggest problem is the organization. I have pictures EVERYWHERE on two computer and a back up hard drive. Graphics, cropping etc is not the issue as I use Dreamweaver and Fireworks for doing web sites so I am OK with that. I just want to be able to find my family pics easily ;-) Glenny www.capriella.com -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 252 spam emails to date.

Re: [LegacyUG] mysterious photos
There appears to be some confusion in the statement 300 pixels wide and 200 dpi Any image 300 pixels wide is just that, 300 pixels in any format. DPI (dots per inch) is a function of the print program: - If you set the print at 300 dpi, you end up on paper with an image 1 inch wide - If you set the print at 100 dpi, you end up on paper with an image 3 inches wide The file image stored in your hard drive remains a 300 pixels wide picture.

Re: [LegacyUG] mysterious photos
Thanks John, you have provided a much deeper overview than my short attempt. For those who want to examine further, here is an excellent write-up: http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html Cheers, Boris - Original Message - From: John Carter To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 10:40 Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] mysterious photos HTML documents are intended for a screen (72 to 96dpi).

Use a program such as Polyview to make JPEG copies of all the TIFF files, then link to the JPEG instead of the TIFF. Web browsers are capable of doing rescaling of JPEG files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Photo locations
If one goes to the trouble of resizing, I would suggest one more step... renaming all the pics to fit into one folder only (well, maybe 2 or 3). Instead of having folders and sub-folders make those names part of the file name, with incremental numbers for people in the same family,e.g., Pearce_John_A01 Pearce_John_A02 Pearce_Leo_A03 ... Pearse_Cole_Adam_01 Pearse_Cole_Adam_02 Or any name-numbering scheme to your liking. The point is, the families are together, they are all in one folder and moving, backup, and crashes are easy to fix. Renaming can be done using batch processing for each folder, then merge all... et voila.

First, if you have not already made a smaller byte version of pictures for Legacy, this is a good time to do it. I disregarded the advice to do this many pictures ago and eventually got to when books reports with pictures were such large files that I couldn't zip them small enough to send ancestor reports via e-mail to cousins. Second, like Jay I use a lot of folders for pics which make sense to me. This means moving to a new drive made for a lot of work. I found that using the function to check picture paths was a lot of help as I got close to finishing - and made sure nothing was inadvertently skipped.

[LegacyUG] Baby Webs Genealogy
Everyone here is here because they have been bitten by the genealogy bug and most are trying to do it by-the-book. Depending on your objectives, it may be alright to stray a bit and introduce your own wrinkles. Legacy has the ability to create web pages and these can be burned onto a CD to pass along. they do not have to be viewed of a website. With my daughter's help we eventually developed a style which is more akin to Family History, introducing events and documents in a format which raises interest in our grandchildren, as you know, a very tough audience to please. Those interested can view a small sample (with many links and exhibits) on my website here: http://simplymedia.ca/demo/demo.htm Cheers, Boris -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
