I scanned all of the obits from the last couple research trips. I like to type the source on the jpg file. My photo editing software has some great features, but it's not very user friendly. Adding text is frustrating. I figure it out and then don't use it for a long time and back to square one.
My solution to that is to pull the jpg files (I scan the files as jpg because I like them as jpgs.) into PowerPoint. I used that program all the time with my students for picture editing. I crop and add a text box with the source information and save the PowerPoint as a jpeg file.
I then pull it into the expensive program and do a final crop. I could make the file fit the PowerPoint page and not do the last step, but it doesn't take that long to crop in the other program.
Now I'm ready to attach the jpg files to the genealogy program. Next is to figure out how to get the pictures to automatically print in the reports.
