By coincidence, I was starting to label the old family photos I'd recently digitized when Jinny posted her question. Thanks, Jinny! My main goals are: 1. Preserve a high-resolution digital image of each old photograph, front and back (if there's any information on the back). 2. Label each fully to identify people, places and sources and add any other desired information--all in a way that keeps the label with the image but doesn't intrude onto the image itself. 3. Distribute copies to other family members in a format that allows them flexibility in viewing and, if desired, reprinting the images. The method I've found most satisfactory so far--although it's cumbersome and time-consuming--is to open each scanned image in a photo editor and place the image on a larger canvas, adding an empty strip of appropriate height to the bottom of the image. My *antique* copy of PhotoDeluxe Business Edition, a predecessor to PhotoShop Elements, does this step very quickly and conveniently. I save the result as a .tif image, then, because PhotoDeluxe doesn't have all the formatting options I want, I open the saved image in Canon's ZoomBrowser to do the labeling. In addition to better formatting choices, ZoomBrowser also doesn't limit the amount of text I can add, so long as I've provided a big enough canvas, so I start with a tall one. Once I'm satisfied with the labeling, I crop off any excess canvas, then save the document as both a .tif file (for archival purposes, future photo editing and reprinting) and a .jpg (for importing into RM and viewing on computers or TVs via flash drives). I'm sure the same could be done with other software programs. I'll definitely go back and incorporate the suggestion posted earlier to save the front and back images (with their labels) as a single image to be sure they aren't inadvertently separated in the future. The labeled images I've done as a test display very well on both a computer screen and a moderately large TV screen. Before I distribute flash drives (with both the .tif and .jpg files), I'll include an instruction sheet explaining the importance of retaining the documentation but also pointing out that, if desired, any of the images can be copied, cropped (if only the image is wanted for display), and reprinted. I'll also request that recipients update my work as new technology makes the current product obsolete. I haven't yet made a final decision about how to name the files, but I do want to make it easy to find and regroup the images for various purposes. I've found this thread very useful and will appreciate further suggestions/comments. Linda Johnson
