When you click on the Icon for adding a picture to an individual in your db, you get a window that says at the top, "Media Gallery for...." That designation does seem to imply that it is a central place for all media information, but the central place has been given the name "Picture Center." These are the same as it is in Legacy 7. If I understood correctly, that this was part of the issue for you, please know that my response is intended to be a friendly one.
