Hi Julie, Hope this will help to answer at least part of your question.... If you do find out about another photo program that will work, please let me know :-)
Using Adobe Photoshop Elements>File>File Info> you can add a title, author, caption, copyright status and web address to each photo. This information is saved with the photo file. When the photo is selected to link within Legacy a 'pop-up box' will show there is data in the photo file and asks if you would like to include the data. Answering yes will place the (Adobe) Caption field text into the (Legacy photo file) Description field, (nothing goes into the Caption and Date field within Legacy). The title, author, copyright status and web address information (written while in Adobe) does not transfer with the file into Legacy in anywhere that I have found. BUT a drawback I find is that this same information does not appear to be readable in Windows Properties dialog pop-up (locate photo in file>right click>properties)... And if you fill in the info via the Windows Properties screen it doesn't transfer into Legacy with the photo.... Sure wish I could find a way to make the data readable in Adobe, Microsoft and Legacy! To make a long explanation a bit shorter.... In Adobe Photoshop Elements part of the info will transfer to Legacy, but won't be displayed within the Properties pop-up in Windows Info written in Windows Properties Comment tab will show on the Windows pop-up but does not transfer to Legacy at all.

I can't answer this question directly, but will add a tangential question: a year or two ago, someone on this list mentioned how happy they were with some software that organized and labeled the photos they kept on their computer. The label (description) stayed with the photo; IF I remember correctly, they used this in conjunction with Legacy (but I might be mis-remembering that part). Anyway, I now have enough photos on my computer that the organization is becoming unwieldy, and I'm hoping that someone remembers what program that was, or can recommend something similar that they've used and are happy with, and please also tell us whether they use it in conjunction with Legacy.
