G'day all...
I am working with a cousin of mine to creating a family history Web page;
running on Linux machine, of course. :-) As part of the this, I am
scanning in a large number of old (some *very* old) family photos and
saving them as JPEGs. While I'm giving each file a descriptive name
of what it is, my fear is that at some future time, the filename will be
changed rendering the image unidentifable.
PhotoShop lets you embed captions and other info as ascii text in the
header of the JPEG. These are plainly visible if header is examined. I
think Gimp lets you do this as well, I haven't tried yet.
Does anyone of a tool which runs under Linux which will let me embed
text tags in a JPEG file without having run each image through either
Gimp or PhotoShop?
Is this even portable with JPEGs? Or is it an Adobe extension that in
a few years might cause problems if Adobe decides they have a "better
way"?
Thanks for the help.
