Hello Everyone,

Having been a FTM 2005 user for years, I finally purchased Legacy and am now 
wishing I had done it years ago.  What a difference!  I have also purchased the 
training DVDs and manual and am reading through the LUG messages, but I have a 
few questions I have not found answers to and I'm hoping experienced users can 
help me with.  Here is my question for today:

How do I attach a source to a picture?

I know how to use the SourceWriter to make a master source, how to add detail 
to the master source including a scan of the item, and how to attach that 
source with details to an event (such as sourcing a death certificate to a 
death date and place), but how do I add a source when the "event" itself is the 
photo?

For example, if I scan a bunch of pictures belonging to my aunt, I know how to 
insert each picture into the individual's gallery (or how to use the gallery to 
easily attach a group picture to several people), but there is no "source" 
button to point the source of the picture back to my aunt.  I can only make a 
comment when adding the picture that it was scanned from Aunt Marie's original.

Or... if I download a photo from an internet site, again, I know how to attach 
the picture to the person, and I know how to use the SourceWriter to make a 
master source with details including the image for the internet source, but how 
do I attach that source to the picture in the individual's picture gallery?

My best guess was to make a photo "event" and attach a source with the picture 
in the detail section, but that's turning into a mess!  There's got to be a 
better way.

How do I properly give the source for a picture?

Thank you,
Lana
