HELP - TREE WORKBOOK - PROFILE PICTURES
1. DEFAULT PROFILE PHOTOS
When a Person is added to the Tree their Profile Photo will become the default MALE or FEMALE silhouette based on their Sex input.
If the Sex is UNKNOWN then no image will display.
You can change the default Images used for MALE and FEMALE by doing the following
A. Get the image you want to use
B. Convert the Image to a ".GIF" file - This can be done by opening the image in some Picture Program (i.e. PAINT) and then doing a "SAVE-AS" and changing the file type to ".GIF".
C. Rename the new default image files as "MALE" and "FEMALE" respectively.
D. Move the files to the following subfolder location "MEDIA\DEFAULT PICTURES". Replace the existing image files with those names.
*The File names must be "MALE" and "FEMALE" exactly or errors will occur.
*The File Types must be ".GIF" files or errors will occur. GIF files allow the image to be transparent
2. ADDING PROFILE PHOTOS
When you add a Profile Photo a COPY of the original file is made and saved into the "MEDIA\PROFILE PHOTOS" subfolder in the directory.
The filename will be "ID - NAME". DO NOT RENAME THE FILES!
Any Crops or Edits made thru the program will only effect the Copy made. The original file won't be touched.
You can add Profile Photos in 1 or 2 ways:
A. Thru any USERFORM Input (Primary, Father, Mother, Spouse, or Child) by clicking on the "PHOTO" button
B. By CLICKING on any Default Profile Image on either the TREE or CHART worksheet.
*If a profile photo already exists then this action will immediately take you to the "CROP" worksheet.
3. FILE TYPES ALLOWED
The file type must be a ".JPG ; .GIF ; .PNG ; .BMP ; .TIF ; .CUR ; .ICO ; .WMF" to display on the charts.
In order to use the "CROP" feature later - the file type must be ".JPG ; .GIF ; .PNG" - so these are the recommend formats to use. This is an excel limitation that I can't change.
4. EDITING THE PROFILE PHOTO
Editing a Profile Photo will on change the Copy made when the Photo was added. It will NOT change the original image in anyway.
You can edit the Image in 1 of 2 ways:
A. Thru any USERFORM Input (Primary, Father, Mother, Spouse, or Child) by clicking on the "OPEN" button under the Profile Photo. The file will open in the default program set for that file type. Then you can edit it and save the file.
B. By CLICKING on the Profile Image on either the TREE or CHART worksheet to go to the "CROP" worksheet. In order to use the "CROP" feature - the file type must be ".JPG ; .GIF ; .PNG". (See CROP)
5. DELETE PROFILE PHOTO
The only way to delete a Person's profile is on the TREE worksheet.
You can delete a Profile Photo by Opening any USERFORM Input (Primary, Father, Mother, Spouse, or Child) and clicking on the "DELETE" button under the Profile Photo.
*This will only remove the Image from the workbook. It will NOT delete the image from the directory. You will have to manually delete the file from the "MEDIA\PROFILE PICTURES" subfolder to permanently remove it OR add a new Profile Photo for the person to overwrite the previous file.
