RM will extract all the pictures in the FTM file (people, family, source, citation, etc). There is a multimedia report which lists all the images that an RM file is linking to, but I'm not sure if that report is in the free version or not.

I found Reports>Lists>Multimedia but after I clicked on it, and it finished building the thumbnails, I couldn't see any way to to print that either as a list or as thumbnails?
