uploading pictures - which path to follow

Richard D Thorpe

When adding pictures and other memories, is it best to load them directly to your gallery or to an ancestor's page?

Loading directly to an ancestor's will still create a copy in your gallery.

Are there advantages to uploading first to your gallery?

One advantage to uploading directly to your gallery is more efficient tagging

If a memory is uploaded from the person’s memory tabs the entire image is tagged, and a red exclamation mark shows. The resulting tag has to be edited.

Another potential advantage to uploading to the gallery is the checkmark to use the file name as the title for the memory
