Hi Debbie,
The pictures attached to Legacy have to all be accessible to Legacy
for you to use them or rearrange them within Legacy.
Legacy doesn't store the photo but the path to the photo.
The photos can be on a CD or flash drive or DVD or your hard disk. So
long as they're *always* there. You won't fit many photos on a
diskette if you mean a 3 1/2 inch disk.
Legacy doesn't require high resolution photos. Screen size is more
than enough to print the thumbnails. Note in the Report Options for
pictures you choose a width of 200-800pixels unless you use Original Size.
You may want to do what many of us do: Scan photos and save an
archive copy in tif or some other non-lossy format. Then resize and
save as a jpg to attach to Legacy.
My photos attached to Legacy are about 150kB or less, my archive copy
can be several MB. I'm sure others have even smaller copies attached
to Legacy but I like Screen size so that I can also use this copy as
Screen Saver or Slideshow.

1. When I add pictures (scans) to a Legacy file...say 20 pictures for my
grandmother's "page", I cannot move the pictures around. In other words, I
cannot re-arrange them, say in chronological order. The seem "frozen" in
the order they were entered.
2. Do I have to keep the picture scans on my computer? Could I download
all the scans to a diskette and then have the program open them from the
disk instead? (I have about 300 pictures or more just for the Means
family!)
