RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Pictures
Joan, If you have a ton of these attached as graphic images, then my suggestion might not have value but if you have only a limited number, I would suggest using the free graphic viewer from Faststone to convert your graphic images of certificates into PDF files, then reattach as a file. This will avoid attached documents being displayed on your family view as a photo. I've used this utility for several years and convert all of my genealogy certificate images to PDF files before attaching. After this, one click in Legacy and the PDF file will open into Adobe Reader, where you can easily study the document. About the only images I regularly attach in Legacy that are graphic files are people photos and tombstone photos. One image this works beautifully with are the Texas Death Certificates, offered online as a graphic file. I just convert them to PDF files and attach. So easy to go back and review them, or email a copy to another researcher. In Adobe Reader, you can increase the size on screen, to bring up close, details on the certificate. To convert, just open your image in the viewer, do a 'save as' and select PDF. Your original image is untouched, leaving you with the graphic image of the document plus the same document in PDF format. http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm ~Mary -Original Message- From: Joan Kemp [mailto:jk...@yahoo.com] Is there any way to prevent pictures showing in miniature on the main Legacy tree?

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding Pictures
Dear Mary, Interesting idea. I use pdf's a lot as they are a most useful format for sending unmangled documents! Do you happen to know where Legacy stores this sort of file? I keep all the Legacy files I can lay hands on in a folder called 'Legacy data' so that I can back the files up easily systematically. Many thanks Joan (Just for interest, my g3 grandmother was called 'Mary Fowler'!)

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Pictures
No Kim, it doesn’t. I attach all PDF documents to each individual person for whom the documents apply. This way, they show up all in a row when I click on the photo icon, making it easy for me to see what I have collected. Go to one of your entries that has a person photo attached. Pretend you are going to attach another photo for this person but Click on FILE instead, then browse to a pdf file somewhere on your hard drive and click on it to SELECT it. (it won’t matter what the pdf file is as you will remove the attachment as soon as your experiment is over) Now choose OPEN, and when the next screen opens, you can add a caption, etc. if wanted. I usually put in Death Certificate, Marriage Certificate or something that will quickly indicate to me what the file contains. Now click on OK. You will see the little file icon in a slot in the Picture Gallery. Now click on “Print Photo Album” and then click on Preview. On screen, you will see that the only thing that prints in the photo album are the photos. Now simply highlight the file icon of the PDF file you just attached and click on Remove. All is back to where you began. For me, to see the documents quickly and easily and to be able to attach a copy of the PDF document to email and send to another researcher, right from Legacy, is a big plus and time saver for me.

Hi Jackie, Adding pictures should be straightforward 1. Click on the little 'picture frame icon' 2. Navigate to your picture 3. Click on 'Close' Your picture should them be available. Having said that, all mine vanished when I transferred Legacy to my new PC. Perhaps someone kind could remind me where in Legacy pictures are stored so that I can back them up - or move them to the the same place as my Legacy data files.

Perhaps we could be of better assistance if you gave us a little more information regarding what step in the process you're having problems with. If you follow the step by step directions you were given, I'm having a hard time figuring out what might be difficult unless you're not sure what folder(s) on your computer you have your pictures stored in, or how to navigate to them?

RE: [LegacyUG] adding pictures to a report
You can add as many as you like, but Legacy will only print one picture per event. (Note Marriage pictures don’t print in reports, even though you can add them into Legacy – only pictures attached to events will print). The individuals preferred picture will print, plus one picture for each event. So, if you have a picture that you want to print in a report create an event related to the picture and attach it to that. If you just want to create a scrapbook of pictures you can include all pictures in that.

Re: [LegacyUG] adding pictures to a report
There seem to be two parts to your question. From the subject line you want to add pictures to a report but in the body you only ask about adding pictures to a person's record. As others have said, the reports will only include one picture for the person and one for each event, if events are allowed in the particular report. You can however add multiple pictures to the person, sources, events etc. if that is your wish, one of those will be marked as the preferred picture. It will have an asterisk (*) when it is displayed in the photo gallery for the person, event, source etc. It is this preferred picture which is included when pictures are included in reports.

RE: [LegacyUG] adding pictures to a report
I’m not sure if there is a difference between the free version and the deluxe version (I’m using the latter), but I have no problem inserting more than one image for sources or individuals. By records, I’m assuming you are speaking of source images, or do you mean person photos? Either way, you should be able to add more than one image at least in the deluxe version. I understand the free version doesn’t have the full features that the deluxe version has for pictures so there could be limitations. Since I’ve never opened my data file in the standard version, I have no idea what the difference is or if it will allow attaching more than one image per person.
