There are several ways to accomplish this:
1. Within the image “editing” of Legacy, is the “Description” of the image. In there you can add the names from the back of the photo. When printing out reports that include images, you must then put a checkmark by the “Include Description” option for Pictures. The downside of this is that if the list of names is large, then the Caption and Description under the picture when printed in a report would tend to look much larger than the actual picture. 2. You could also just create a text note for the main person that the image is attached to… but remember that the note and the image have no direct link to each other. It’s just a means for you to enter and keep the names somewhat handy and informative. 3. If you’re feeling really energetic, use a photo editing program to crop and/or resize the image and create a small white border at the bottom of the photo. In that white border, enter the names and other info. When saved, all that text becomes part of the actual image. The downside of this is that when the picture is printed in a report, such text at the bottom of the image is probably too small to read in the report (unless you create a custom size large picture for the report). 4. My favorite method is to add the names and info to the metadata of a JPEG image (not a TIFF). When you attach that image within Legacy, it will ask if you want to include such info which then gets automatically input as the Description for that image. The upside of this method is that such metadata is part of the image and not really part of Legacy so that whenever you re-use that same JPEG image over again in Legacy for whatever reason, that same metadata has not been lost and once again gets re-imported into Legacy automatically. Others may have more suggestions.
