It is NOT a fact that you have newer machines. It has always been this way and is NOT just with Legacy. Unless you have printers that can produce very large print outs (much larger than 11x17) there is no need in having these very large image files.
Most printer are good for about 300 dots per inch, most internet and email files will produce a very good image using files of 100 dots per inch. The real advantage of having these higher resolution files, is that you can do a lot more editing and still print out and they will be clear. Such as a Group picture and you zoom in and crop a single person. This image this will be clear and a very good print out can be obtained. Bottom, line, any image file used in a webpage, email Word file, PowerPoint, and etc, a COPY should be resized to about 150-300 KB and the resulting file(s) will be much smaller but the images will still be very clear. By using these resized images the data file (Word, PowerPoint, Webpage) will load faster and can be edited quicker.

Picture Gallery trouble in Master Source picture gallery - family bible TIF's Vivian, thanks for sharing your story. I am not alone in reporting this problem to Legacy developers. It seems that you and I both have newer computers running the latest operating system with lots of computer resources available. We are among the few, it seems, trying to use the picture gallery feature as a true gallery of several pictures in high quality on a single picture gallery. The workaround seems to be suggesting we downsize our pictures to the point where Legacy can support them. CTLR-ALT-DEL and then downsize images repeatedly until Legacy works seems like very unfriendly application process to me. I would expect at least a warning message and a more friendly recovery from professional application software. How does the competition to Legacy compare in handling images?
