Re: [LegacyUG] Printing a Photograph From Photo Album

[Cathy Pinner]

Thomas,

If you don't have a scanner, consider your mobile phone camera. You can 
probably get a good "scan" with that. There are apps that help the 
process of scanning with a phone or you can just take a picture.

You will need to scan the photo.  Have you got (or got access to) a 
scanner?


Having scanned it, you can easily add a caption using software such as 
IrfanView.  Normally, one would wish to scan at a high resolution and 
save without compression, but if you are going to e-mail this image 
you don't want it to be too big, so scan at a lower resolution and 
save as a .jpg.

Hi everyone,

I would like to print a "stand alone" photograph (with caption), from 
the family photograph album to send to a family member by email.  I 
can't seem to work out the process.  I would appreciate any help from 
anyone who has a suggestion on how I can accomplish creating this 
photograph for mailing.


Thank you,

Thomas Cox

Can you give us some idea of what the problems were. Maybe we can figure 
out what went wrong.

Have you tried doing a descendants chart, starting with
the couple?

Select the couple with the 21 children and click on
*Reports* and select *Descendant Book*

Click on *Options* and check at the bottom if the name
of that couple is there

Under Options, select which Option you want (there are
three and you will have to go through all three).

The next page you get will have the heading "Descendant
Book Options".  You will have a choice of 7 tabs:
*Options*, *Page Layout*, *Heading Layout*, *Wording 1
*and *Wording 2*.  You will need to go through all of
them in turn:

Under *Options* and check the features that you want to
appear.

Under *Page Layout*, select what you want.

Under *Heading Layout,* ensure that the couple's name
appears in the first box and "Descendants of so and so"
appears in the second box.  I have checked "Both" under
Generation Subtitles Labels.

  I left "Wording 1" and "Wording 2" as is.

Under *Index Options*, I have the following checked: 
Name List; Include a name, Birth and Death years on

name; Include alternate names (aliases and nicknames as,
in my case, most of my relatives and friends are more
familiar with my nickname),:Style 1 with bold box
checked; Upper case Surnames and One Column are both
checked.  I didn't select anything in Location Index.

Under *Report Options*, you have five options:
*Include*, *Format*, *Notes/Stories*, *Sources* and
*Pictures*.  Again, you will need to go through each one
in turn and select whatever you want.  The only one
where I have made changes is under Format where I have
"Don't repeat duplicate lines" and "Highlight
direct-line children" checked.

As for the *Title Page*, enter "Descendants of" in the
first box and "the couples' names" in the second box and
click on *Save.*
*
*
Once you have clicked on Save, you will be brought back
to the "Descendant Book Report Options" where you will
be able to preview your report.

You can select different formats if you wish to
give/email the report.  These are "*Text File*, *HTML
File*, *Rich Text File* or *PDF File*".  My personal
preference is PDF File.

I hope this helps.

Odd.  Worked perfectly for me.  All I had to do to get the data I wanted
was to sort by column B.  See attached for a screenshot.

You will need to scan the photo.  Have you got (or got access to) a scanner?

Having scanned it, you can easily add a caption using software such as

Re: [LegacyUG] Newspapers - Australia, New Zealand

[Cathy Pinner]

Ian,
Why don't you put the text straight into Legacy? From Trove, just copy 
and then paste into Legacy. Do your corrections on Trove first so that 
everyone benefits.
You can search it in Legacy. How easily depends on where you put it. I 
put it in Event notes as well as in the Source Detail text. Event Notes 
are easy to search.
You may have other reasons for keeping text files separately. If so, I'd 
link them to the person or event in Legacy as well so you have another 
way to access them.


Cheers,
Cathy

Cathy – I don’t download the image or PDF from either Trove or Papers 
Past – though I used to, about 4 years ago. My text files contain 
transcriptions that are usually for one individual or for others in 
the family.  I find the text files, apart from being very much smaller 
than image or PDF, are searchable on my computer and thereby help with 
research. But I need to incorporate them into Legacy, as well.

What file are you talking about? I mostly don't download the file for 
the newspaper article or page. If I do, I use an image format and link 
it to the Event.
The URL, newspaper etc is in the Source attached to the Newspaper 
event or the relevant data field if it was a birth notice etc.

This is probably a general question.
Those Australian and NZ papers are made available via "Trove" and 
"Papers Past".
Apart from confirming or obtaining dates, relationships, places etc 
from the articles, I always transcribe the full text into plain-text 
files, correcting bad OCR. And I always record with the transcribed 
text, the URL and the newspaper name/issue/date and subject.
I'm wondering if I should attach those files in Legacy, and what is 
the best way.

I don't research UK or USA newspapers.

I paste a copy of the text into Event Notes and then attach the image 
file of the article to the Source Detail and paste the text into Source 
Detail Text.  I have a separate Master Source for each newspaper.

Can't you just paste the text into Legacy - as a source this would be

the newspaper article or page. If I do, I use an image format and link 
it to the Event.
The URL, newspaper etc is in the Source attached to the Newspaper 
event or the relevant data field if it was a birth notice etc.

I don't research UK or USA newspapers.

Re: [LegacyUG] Newspapers - Australia, New Zealand

If you download an image, usually JPG, you can always crop it to just the
part that you need. With suitable tools you should be able to extract the
image from a PDF file and do the same. Also makes it easier to convert the
smaller image to text with OCR.

Cathy – I don’t download the image or PDF from either Trove or Papers Past – 
though I used to, about 4 years ago. My text files contain transcriptions that 
are usually for one individual or for others in the family.  I find the text 
files, apart from being very much smaller than image or PDF, are searchable on 
my computer and thereby help with research. But I need to incorporate them into 
Legacy, as well.

Ian,

I hope you make your OCR corrections on Trove and then copy and paste the OCR'd 
text to your Legacy event note etc.
What file are you talking about? I mostly don't download the file for the 
newspaper article or page. If I do, I use an image format and link it to the 
Event.
The URL, newspaper etc is in the Source attached to the Newspaper event or the 
relevant data field if it was a birth notice etc.
