Hi, thanks for the reply. I agree that improvements need to be made. My point was that it appears that currently NOT ONE of the IPTC fields maps to any image-related field in either FTM or ancestry web. I might be willing to add IPTC info to my images any way, but I didn't know that some image software just strips that info out. I might know to watch for image software that does that, but those coming behind might not know or care. I think preserving the image is only half the battle. If the future asks "Who is that?" and finds no answer, the image has lost its family value. I don't want to take that chance, and so will be adding ID info to the image itself.
Thanks again for the conversation.
