Connie: Gary seems to be dealing with a variety of circumstances but since he does have some photos with family data written on the backs, one way to handle the sourcing would be through the Artifacts template. As you say, that wouldn't work if he's looking to add a source citation to a linked photo but it would be a solution if he's using information noted on a photo as evidence for some fact or event.

If he wishes to create a Photo Event, then yes, the Artifacts template would work. (Although if it were a tombstone photo, that is probably not the template I would use). One could also use a template to develop the citation, then copy and paste it into the Caption and/or Description fields. But he can't attach the citation (as a Master Source with Details) directly to the photograph itself. Unless something has changed in the newest build of Legacy...
