As you never know what the future brings in possibilities to view information (e.g. 25 years from now I find this file...will I be able to read all properties still, etc...). What I do with information about persons on a picture, places, dates, etc. is to enlarge the canvas of the picture. This will result in an empty part at the (e.g.) bottom of the picture and there I will paste all kind of text. Everyone will be able to crop the picture later and will also see the information with certainty. Of course, when using the image in Legacy output it is cropped. I only do this in the original.....
Perhaps this can be of help to someone. -- Vriendelijke groeten, Rob Vader 06 5058 9079 On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 4:44 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > First, I create the citation using source writer.
