That's what I've been doing. All original scans, which are very large, are placed on an external drive while all scans for Legacy are resized to a lower size and stored in folders on the same drive with my Legacy data. Both are backed up frequently when something new is added.

External hard drives are cheap. Buy one and copy the original (large) images there as an archive. Then feel free to resize the images in the Legacy folder. Resizing will affect quality, so keeping a copy of the original on an external HD will protect you if it turns out that resizing creates a problem for a particular image. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
