Re: [LegacyUG] Export Images of locations

They can't. Gedcoms are text files and can't include graphics. You can do a multimedia backup and hope that the recipient's genealogy program will be able to link the pictures from the picture links in the gedcom. If you're sending the file to someone who's using Legacy, you'd want to back up the
