I have no problem exporting .GED files from .GNO files without reference to or inclusion of photographs.
The question is:
How do you export .GED files that include references to photographs and the associated photographs from .GNO files that reference photographs?
1. Gedcom2013.12.13 is installed on my computer and am able to export usable .GED files without photographs.
2. Narrative_2013.08.28 is installed on my computer and am able to create a usable reports.
Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

The Export to Gedcom report skin does export references to photos as Gedcom 'OBJE' tags provided the correct option is set in Config Params dialog.
The file path is the same as that referenced in the .gno so when moving the .ged and photos to a new environment you may need to edit the .ged to adjust file path prefix to suit.

Thank you for the response.
I failed to indicate in the original post that my exported GedCom files do include the paths to the pictures and all of my pictures, for a particular .GNO file, are stored in the same location.
Situation
My .GNO file contains multiple GENOMAPS and the requirement exists to export .GED files of individual GENOMAPS.
The resulting .GED files are then electronically provided to associates. The associated pictures are provided at the same time. The .GED files and associated pictures are setup so that they may be imported into Tree-Maker programs.
Problem
Adjusting the paths in the .GED file and then selecting/moving the pictures to the new location indicated requires quite a bit of manual labor.
Question
Any ideas how to reduce the above described manual labor requirement?

Would it help if an option were to be provided to reference pictures via a relative rather absolute path?
You could then move a copy of your .gno to the same folder as your pictures, run the Export to Gedcom, and then provide the pictures and .ged in the same folder.

Thanks for the comment.
Your solution would work. However, it would be better if you could modify the report options, for exporting .GED files, to include the ability to export the .GED file to a specific folder and automatically copy (relative path modified) referenced pictures to that folder. The Customized English Narrative Report places all of the resulting files into a single folder, provided the appropriate options are selected. There may be some problem with that approach since I do not understand the function of "picture-pic00653.htm" files. My assumption has been that these files are htm formatted graphic images. |

Export to Gedcom version 2014.01.22 has option to copy photos to destination folder alongside the .ged GedCom export.
