 Some time ago in a webinar Geoff showed us how to resize photos to a
 uniform
 size by using Photoshop Elements and dropping one correctly-sized photo
 onto
 a larger one in the Project Bin.

 I have performed this manoeuvre many times and successfully produced a
 nice
 set of matching-size pictures to use in Legacy.  I have also ATTEMPTED
 to do
 it several times and not succeeded.  What happens sometimes is that I do
 Ctrl-A then try to slide the pic from the main window to the one in the

 and instead of this working as it should, the main window photo appears
 to
 slide off it's canvas, leaving a white space on the screen.

 I cannot for the life of me work out what I am doing wrong because I
 think I
 am following the same process every time.  Any suggestions?

Reading Jenny's post she seems to be asking why she was having a problem
with Photoshop Elements and a technique demonstrated in one of the
webinars for resizing images in that software. That is not really a

No one actually came up with the solution to my problem, but that was 
specifically "what am I doing wrong?" because Geoff's instructions were 
very clear and USUALLY work just fine for me.


If you have Adobe Photoshop Elements, then I would refer you to Geoff's 
webinar, which was Digital Images for Genealogists and Technologists, 
first broadcast on 27 June 2012.  Specifically, you want the section 
entitled Legacy Charting.


Some time ago one of the posters here pointed me towards a tutorial he 
had put together on how to accomplish the same task using the free 
program IrfanView.  You will find it at

If you mean a way to do it within Legacy then that is not possible.

There are however a number of software products that can probably do 
what you want. Once the images are re-sized then you can link the newly 
resized images to your Legacy file date.


I suggest you Google for image resizing and see what you can find, maybe 
one of them will be a free program.
