Hi, I am new to this site but wish to pick your brains! I am looking at purchasing FTM to reduce my reliance and cost of Ancestry but have this question. When you integrate of copy over your family tree from Ancestry to FTM are images of census, sources and media copied over as well or is it just 'facts' and text that is copied over? I would love to learn more from those that have migrated from Ancestry to FTM. Thank you

I hope someone can answer this from experience.
Meanwhile...
https://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15998 has a long thread about it and says
Migrate your Project from Ancestry to RootsMagic and then to FH and the Media will be retained.
See the FHUG Knowledge Base advice Importing to Family Historian and under Import from Ancestry website it advises using RootsMagic TreeShare and then Import from RootsMagic (RM) to migrate into FH.
I don't know if the free version of RM is enough to that
