Re: [LegacyUG] Scan a Picture
Scanning directly from within Legacy was removed deliberately. There were too many problems reported by our testers with that feature. Some scanners would not start when called by Legacy. In other cases the scanner caused a run-time error instead of passing the scan back to Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Scan a Picture
Hi Jenny, I had already checked the help files and found the same as you did, not much help in there. As I still have my Legacy 7 program installed, I can just go there and scan a photo or document, then save it into my Legacy 8 Media files, it's a "work around" for something that should have been included in Legacy 8.

RE: [LegacyUG] Scan a Picture
I too am disappointed that we have lost the scan a picture option. Hopefully Legacy will have this fixed shortly.

According to the Legacy 8 manual "You can scan pictures from your scanner directly into Legacy..." and beneath topic it says "Help index: Scanning pictures" but there is no such entry in the Help Index. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
