I use TIF format almost exclusively for the images I attach in Legacy (census, scans of documents, photographs, etc.). Most of these files are way over 200KB - in fact they are all in the 3-5 MB range. I have never had a problem with Legacy handling, saving, or displaying these images.

I haven't had any trouble over 200 Kb but if Sherry said so it must be true. That's how it works. The linked files go with the database. Look out for renaming files outside of Legacy though as it can be a pain to find them again. Renaming inside Legacy (Picture Center) is a pain too though

Hi Shirl, Take a look at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Tips.asp and read the section on Pictures. It both explains the different image formats and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Make Google your friend. When someone mentions something you don't know about, first do a Google
