The Media Gallery panel is useful for adding captions to photos, for use in reports. It is accessed from the “pictures” icon button, located on the action bar, which runs down the left-side of the main Pedigree Forge window:
The basic use is very similar to the other editing panels in Pedigree Forge, whereby a list of all the items appears at the top. Selecting an item from the lists makes it the item being edited (with the fields below) and the small buttons above the list of items allow adding/deleting of the photos.
Any gallery items should be located in the same folder as your Pedigree Forge project (.ped) file.
People can be linked to items in the gallery. You can do this either when editing the people themselves (on the people editing panel), via the “Media” section:
Alternatively, the person can be linked to media gallery item the other way around, i.e. by selecting an item in the list of gallery items, and then right-clicking on the item in the list and selecting “Link to person”
