RE: [LegacyUG] How Do You Handle Two Sided Documents?
Bill, Regarding scanning... I have been advised to use TIFF files as archive copies and then Save As or Convert to JPG files for cropping, enlarging, etc. Evidently JPG loses information with each Save and is not as useful. The TIFF files are large, however. For multiple page documents, I discovered a great file type called MULTI-TIFF. This creates multi-page TIFF docs that are readable on both Windows and Mac. I open the file in a little shareware program called XnView and do a batch conversion to make indiv pages into JPG. The program renumbers each one by original file name with _page_001; _page_002 etc. This allows me to have good archival TIFF files, and smaller jpgs too. Other programs such as Adobe Elements will also convert TIFF to JPG. I am becoming a Scan Queen!

Re: [LegacyUG] How Do You Handle Two Sided Documents?
Whatever you want to call it, you have to turn the page over on the scanner and hit the Scan button again, which means you get two pages/images. Legacy is not going to sew the two pages/images together for you. -- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www3.telus.net/Jgen/jlog.html Kris wrote: I've been playing around with scanning my documents and pictures directly into Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] How Do You Handle Two Sided Documents?
Kris, I must be missing something here as I do not understand your last sentence. However, it is necessary to scan both sides as separate images. If you use them as sources you can put both images into the Source Picture Screen, although you will view them separately Ron Ferguson _ New Blog: Free Contacts Database for use with Open Office http://www.fergys.co.uk View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.

I got some bad news and shouldn't be trying to do anything, frankly. But you still managed to answer the question.

Re: [LegacyUG] How Do You Handle Two Sided Documents?
Check with your scanner software. I have scanned items, especially when using OCR, and told it there was more than one page. Then the two pages were in the same file. It's been awhile so I can't tell you how I did it or if it would work for photos. If I get a chance this weekend I'll take a look.Mary Beth Figgins--- On Fri, 5/16/08, JLB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:From: JLB [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How Do You Handle Two Sided Documents?To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.comDate: Friday, May 16, 2008, 3:59 PMWhatever you want to call it, you have to turn the page over on the scanner and hit the Scan button again, which means you get two pages/images.

Re: [LegacyUG] How Do You Handle Two Sided Documents?
I use a program called ScanSoft by Nuance http://www.nuance.com/ - it scans beautifully and will take almost any file format and convert multiple single pages into a multi-page but single .pdf file. Works very well with Legacy. Does a pretty good job with OCR, too.
