Peggy, You're correct. I scan as TIF and then edit and save as jpg (Legacy can't find the jpeg extension - they're the same but the program only recognizes the dot-three extensions).
It's better to use the jpg when linking to Legacy because if you have a lot of pictures with very large file sizes, as you do with TIF, you'll find that your computer really starts to bog down. Cathy referred another user to our article on pictures and multimedia files at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsMedia-Menu.asp. You might find it interesting. Thanks for using Legacy.

But from what I understand, a "jpeg" file deteriorates each time it is opened, edited and resaved. I was told that if you have items you may be editing a lot, you may want to scan and save them as a "tif" format. It takes up more memory on the hard drive, but does not deteriorate each time it is edited and resaved. Peggy. Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
