Uploads or linking? Uploads are very limited compared to linking.

This. Uploads usually have the link broken after a short time.

Just be sure that file you upload is a JPG file. That is all that really works. A .png file is easy, just rename it to jpg. Really that is all, just rename it, no conversion needed. Forget the other file formats, they will not upload.

Yeah, I try to upload as little as possible, especially if the images are already on the Internet somewhere else. PP doesn't need to spend money on storage for "random pictures." Storage is cheap when it's not a lot but when it's thousands or tens or hundreds of thousands of images, it does start adding up. Plus it's quicker and easier to link images already on the 'Net.

See, that's my question, right there. Is that a "picture"? It's a .jpg, but it's just text. So per Geronimo, it's a picture.

So, what if you take a screenshot of a .jpg, wouldn't that be considered as a picture, since you have essentially taken a picture of the .jpg?

That would be acceptable, if the resolution is good and the image is 800 pixels wide.
