Lana, Welcome to the list and Legacy!
I think of a photograph as a source (like an old letter), not something that needs to have a citation attached. What would you include in the citation if you attached a source to it? That it is a photograph of James Doe, taken about 1952, and you received a copy from Aunt Marie? I'd put that in the description. Or, as you've already figured out, you can create a Photographic Event and attach a citation to that. BTW, this list requires that posts be in plain text. Please turn off HTML when posting.

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?
