Your picture files are not stored in the database together with your specimen data; instead they are kept in their original location. The database only keeps the location of each picture file. The advantage to this is that these large picture files are only taking up space on your disk once. Your can organize your picture files in any way that makes sense to you.

To see your specimen pictures from within The Compleat Botanica program, enter the directory and filename in the space provided on the Sketch View.
