Hi Dave,
Once you have the new file, you could open it and do a Backup Multimedia Files to zip the relevant photos together. Depending on how many you have, this could produce a very large file.
You could either put them zipped on the CD or do the unzipping yourself into a new folder if your recipient isn't as computer literate.
Or you could go to View > Scrapbook and Print Picture List and then use the list to collect the relevant pictures.
You may want to consider

for more on sharing your Legacy file on CD. It gives precise instructions for the naming of folders on the CD to aid the recipient when installing Legacy with the Family File you are providing.
Cheers, Cathy

I want to export a tagged group of relatives, and export them as a Legacy file, that is a complete legacy file, with pictures, sources, the lot.
Creating the new Legacy database is easy of course, but how do I export each picture that is linked to a source etc.
Once done I can supply this researcher with the standard version of Legacy, and the data files, pictures etc, all on a CD. Theoretically all he'll have to do is install Legacy, create the pictures sub-directory, and copy the data files over, and pictures of course.
There's not too many folks to export, barely 100 people, but lots of sources, and an equal number of pictures.
The help file doesn't really cover this as far as I can see.
Many thanks Dave Cripps in Hobart
