Hi Mary Jo,

I want to stress the fact that changing or moving C:\My Pictures will
result in all of the images in subfolders becoming frowning face icons
and all of them will have to be loaded again. As long as you are
confident that you will not have to change the present folder, all
will be fine.

If the image is to be placed in Exhibit Log only, either Acquire or PI
7 would be fine. I usually do some fixing after a scan and then it is
best to use a photo editing program for the scan.

Most data entry in TMG is meant to be done the way the user wants it
done. It can be tough to decide which method is best for you but, by
getting views of other list members, you will find the one that suits
you best.

Have fun.
