My method is to crop a census image (online or scanned photocopy) to the immediate household names or a reasonable shape. Each image is included just once for a printout, not linked as a reference for every detail. Census details can be included in a caption or text source.
Oct 18 build of Legacy allows images up to 5 inches wide in endnotes. Event images are limited to small-med-large like individual pictures and marriage pictures do not print in descendant reports. The alternative is to add images one at a time to RTF reports -- too much work for a book-in-progress -- or print scrapbook(s) separately from reports. If the same image is linked to multiple households, it might print multiple times in Legacy scrapbooks. Friends at a history society meeting last night were interested in a 40 page set of about 90 images collected for a family book. My current problem is finding an affordable way to have copies made of family pictures/books with a mix of color pictures. Copy service quoted 89 cents a page. The only affordable alternative would be hand-assembly of a book with sections of colored pages printed from multiple files.
