7 Family Tree
Builder incorporates extremely powerful image manipulation and management capabilities and The Complete Genealogy Reporter reflects these capabilities in the Media section as follows: 
  - All images (the original images and the marked faces therein) are exported from Family Tree Builder and will be processed by The Complete Genealogy Reporter.  
  - Some of the marked faces will be essentially equivalent to the corresponding original image (with the edges cropped), and others will be extracted cutouts from a larger composite image.  The Complete Genealogy Reporter examines the size and position of each marked face within the corresponding original image and determines whether it appears to be a cropped image or a extracted image. 
  - By default, the original image from which a marked face is deemed to have been cropped is excluded from the media section. This is because the marked face and the original image are considered to be essentially the same picture. 
  - By default, an extracted marked face is deemed to be significantly different from the original image, and both are included in the media section. This is because the original image may be considered to contain additional graphic information which should be included the Media Section. For example, the original may include other members of a family group, or the surrounding context from which the cutout was extracted.
  - The inclusion or exclusion of the original images may be specified differently from the defaults via a preference option for each category (cropped and extracted).
  - Images that are Documents ("This image is a scanned document") or relate to a Place of Rest ("Virtual Cemetery") are grouped within separate sections from other images.
