Cathy,
It's not just your Canon. I have a Kodak and the results are the same - not
asked about the EXIF data at all and only given the choice of attaching a jpeg
comment if no EXIF data is present.

I do believe 'Jpeg comment' will stay with your photo.

Legacy can read JPEG comments provided the picture doesn't have EXIF
information.
This is a severe limitation as a photo from a digital camera does

HUH? Legacy reads the embedded comments of images with EXIF data just fine
here.
But as you say, the terminology about comments, descriptions, and captions
vary widely and there is some overlap between the IPTC
Hi Brian,
Then maybe Legacy doesn't like my camera - or Canon cameras as I just
tried with a photo sent by a friend. Checked there was EXIF data,
added a JPEG comment. Attached to Legacy. No query as to whether I
want to use it.
Found and tried another photo from a different sort of camera.
I don't want this group to get terribly overloaded with a lot of technical
info concerning EXIF and IPTC headers in JPEG file structure so I'll avoid

Actually, you create a source which describes and
contains the photo. Then you can attach same photo or

Well you could do that, but that is not what I had in mind. When
I have a photo I obtained from someone else I like to say so, but
the only place I found to do this is in the Description area of

should say we can source Media Files.
Another place to put photo information is in the IPTC-info fields. I
also like to keep track of where I get pictures from and other
information. You can use Microsoft's program called Photo Info. It's
free. Or Adobe and others. Unfortunately, with the exception of the
