Add a new source and choose "Photographs, portraits & >sketches" from the list of source types and follow the prompts. Thank you for posting in plain text. What you've described is a method to make the photograph the source, so it can be applied to some fact in your database. This has always been possible, even with basic sources. I think what Gary was looking for was a way to cite the source of the actual photo. For example, I may find a photo of a ship in a book and make a digital copy of it. I would like Legacy to remember that I obtained this photo in book ABC at library XYZ on page nnn. There are several ways to do this in Legacy, but not the usual method (create a source for book ABC at repository XYZ, and then create a citation linking the digital image on my PC to the source). I have always wondered why Legacy doesn't have this feature ... other than the ugly programming it might involve. I'll have to take a look at the old GENTECH Genealogical Data Model to see how they handled this. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools P.S.
