For what it's worth, and not worth file notes, I load each photograph into Photoshop, use the "Canvas Size" command to add a white strip along the bottom then using the Text command, type in names left to right, or a full name including married names with birth and death years. That way, a photograph is always identified, no matter where it goes.
I also deliberately scan at around 1000-1200 dpi in case anyone wants a hard copy later on, in which case it will be of hopefully photographic quality. And if there are any glaring scratches or tears, I touch them up too. A large resolution scan is also handy too for noting special details, like fall maple leaf lapel decorations in a family christening picture, or a masking tape X across a distant window, taken during WWII.
