It will be great for source information, though.

I've been reading up on it and have read a useful tip: be sure that whatever description, or metadata, you add to a file is not something that you would rather the "world" not see. If you post an image online that you have added metadata to, others will be able to read it so you want to be sure there are no privacy issues with what you post.Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-63316639098761125052011-05-16T16:22:37.471-05:002011-05-16T16:22:37.471-05:00This is really helpful information because I didn&...This is really helpful information because I didn't know it was available or possible. Is the information that's added this way called metadata, or is that something else?

Just had a look then and now I have lots of new ideas for adding information to my family history photos, thanks.A O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420277609206963374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-9659122743921520862011-05-10T14:26:29.840-05:002011-05-10T14:26:29.840-05:00I hope that it is helpful!

Plus I was hoping that posting about it would help to motivate me to add descriptions to my old images.

I was just looking at all the many census images in my FTM media file last night and wishing that I had a way of knowing which, for example, 1900 census image was for a particular family.
