Jeff - Thanks for your note. I used to get that same screen, asking where to get the image. Now it's slightly different - I need to click on "Upload" and from there I can navigate to my images. It takes a couple of more clicks, but it works. I had assumed the "Upload" button was trying to get me to upload images to Drive, which I am not willing to do. The new way works well enough. I just had not been flexible enough (mentally) to try the Upload button. I'm happy again. - Bill
