object is a global property. It may only be changed from the

Media View, and it will affect all references. An object also

|
has a global note and a set of user defined global attributes.
|
|
A reference in a gallery may a have a local note and local

|
attributes as well. All references share the global properties,

|
but each gallery has its own set of notes a attributes.

</P

|
|
description. For example, in a family reunion image, you may
|
|
wish to use the global note to indicate the place, date, and
|
|
occasion of the photograph. In a local note in Aunt Martha's

gallery, you may wish to add a local note indicating that

"Aunt Martha is the third person from the right in the
