Family photos

I'd be grateful to hear folks' thoughts on how to treat family photos:
I've been adding a lot of family photos to my GRAMPS db, cropping photos to individuals so I can put an individual photo in the individual's gallery; and where I have people all belonging to the same nuclear family, I've added the group photo to the gallery for that family. However, I have quite a lot of group photos consisting of cousins, aunts and uncles, or maybe three generations of a family and am a bit puzzled how best to deal with them. Is there any systematic way of doing this in Gramps? What do others do?

(Furthermore, when you're looking at an individual in the GUI, you don't get any special flag that there are applicable resources available through his/her families.) I note that Facebook has an interesting capability -- you can add a photograph, "tag" and name the people in it (graphically selecting them), and the results automatically propagate throughout their database. I run into this situation when I have a resource item that applies to multiple individuals. In Gramps, I do not find a convenient way to enter the fact that a particular resource (gallery item, source, place, research note, etc.) should be associated with a (possibly long) list of individuals, families, events, etc. In general, you now have to go to each individual and add the item of interest, using lots of clicking and scrolling (and possibly making mistakes) to make the right associations. Going the other direction, there are problems, too. For example, if I want to get a list of people who are associated with a given place, it's not easy. You open the Place, go to References, and all you get is a list of Events. If you want the people associated with the events, you must open the Event and go to *its* References. It would be great to be able to do this easily at the GUI level. Feature requests, anyone?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking how many things to
connect the picture to? If so then I tend to put it into the clipboard (together with the image explaining who everyone is) and paste it into everyone who's in the picture. It doesn't take so long and helps build a good picture of who each person is.

Hi Doug, please remember to click 'Reply all' when replying. Here's
the message you sent me: Not quite that: when I have a group picture I 'cut out' each person and put the 'cut-out' into that person's gallery, so that he/she is identified individually. When the group is a nuclear family (parents and children) I edit the Family entry and paste the group picture (uncut) into the gallery of the Family. Logically I'd like to be able to paste a picture with grandma, aunts, uncles and kids into the gallery of some kind of '3-Generation' category. I know that's a nonsense, so I wondered what other people do. My reply. You can always create an event for the photo, I've done that and just made an event type called 'Gathering'. Then make all of them participants in the event and attach the image to that.

Just a precision: when you say "cropping photos", are you doing this ouside Gramps? I recently discovered that Gramps includes a system to locate a person on a familly photo: 1) you insert the photo in Gramps (perhaps as en event) 2) for each people both in the photo and in your DB, you do a rectangular selection By this way, I have portraits for lot of people and Gramps keeps that these portraits are taken from the family photo. I hope that help. -- Guilhem BONNEFILLE -=- #UIN: 15146515 JID: guyou@...

I'd forgotten about that - where is this function?

So to recap, the idea is:
1. create a media object for the foto, in the note add who is on it if you know 2. copy it to the clipboard 3. add it to the source the foto is stored in, so you can find it again (use drag and drop) 4. go to each person/family in the foto, and drop the foto from the clipboard there on the media tab. This opens a media reference dialog. In this dialog you can define a rectangular section which you can use to overlay on the foto, so to only see the person this reference is about. This is in 3.0.1, so no need for manual cropping and such. At the moment, the subsection is not visible in the reports, but it might be added somehow in the future PS: you can also drag and drop the media reference instead of the media object, note that an exact copy of the reference is then created.

However I didn't know about the Gramps selection - it sounds phenomenally useful if it keeps the references together logically as well. Many thanks!
