Hi Chris Legacy photos Put your photos in an easy to find folder ie desktop - If you change this later you will loose the Legacy location and will have to re-teach it. Assuming that you already have the photo on your computor With your relative highlighted Click on the photo image in family view - a picture gallery comes up, in your case empty. Under where it says CLOSE there is another photo symbol - click on it a 'load picture' box appears in the lower box find and click once on 'desktop' In the top box find your photo and double click on it.
