Hi Robert, thanks for the reply. But what I was asking about was the editing process of the photos before I put them into Legacy. Is there a best physical size such as 2” x 3” for example, to shoot for as a standard during the photo editing outside Legacy?
Same question for photo resolution? I’m just trying to get a better understanding of how Legacy handles the pictures. I realize that it will probably use compression of some sort on the photo in sizing it for the Legacy picture box options. In playing around with Legacy in the area that you described as far as the optional sizes in the reports, I had mixed results as far as picture quality. As an example, throwing in an 8x10, 300 dpi original really didn’t look very good as far as photo quality for the report set at the large format. Medium was a better, with small as the best visually. So that is why I was asking what you folks that have used Legacy for some time might have found as the optimum size for your photo editing in prepping them for Legacy. Thanks, Chuck >> Robert E.
