Hi Pat,
As others have said, embedded information comes from programs you have used
to scan or edit the photo. I always make copies of my photos for the Legacy
folder in jpg with a slightly reduced quality/size. This saves time and
space, and preserves the original, with its embedded information, in another
location. I do all my scans in tiff at a fairly high resolution so that they
are easier to edit. Legacy doesn't need them to be that large. It doesn't
really affect the printout. Therefore, you can choose "no" and never worry!

* I have used Legacy (I have the latest -110- build) for some time but
am
* just getting around to adding pictures.
*
* I have added a picture (made in 1878) without too much difficulty,
but I
* have one question.
*
* At one point it said something about there being embedded info or
script
* in the picture and asked if I wanted that info put in the
description
* field.
*
* So I said yes, thinking it was referring to the caption my father
had
* printed on the bottom of the picture.
*
* So what it put into the description field was "LEAD Technologies,
Inc.VI.01"
*
* I have no idea where that info came from -- that doesn't sound like
* something from 1878!
*
* So my question is -- Is that information something I should keep for
some
* reason? And do you know where it came from??
*
* Thanks again!
*
* Pat
