You can add the picture to persons and their events within the Picture Center. I've never had to leave Picture Center to go to an individual to add pictures. Generally I add all the information to the pictures first before attaching them to any people. In the Picture List, you will first have to browse to the folder where your pictures are located then attach them.

As it is now, you have to go to the Picture List itself to add the basic info to a picture. That means, you have to exit out of the individual, go to the Picture List, add the picture and info, then go back to the Individual/Event, and repeat this maneuver for each picture you add. That is convoluted.
