One way to annotate photos is with IPTC data attached to the photo file
itself. You can add a variety of IPTC data to your images using
BreezeBrowser (and I'm sure other software). The data survives "save as"
another filename in Photoshop 6; not sure what other software will or will
not preserve it.

As you may know, BreezeBrowser's main claim to fame is as a very convenient
and versitle Canon RAW file converter. But it also has several other
functions including generating websites from your images. IPTC data can be
included in those presentations. BB is at www.breezesys.com.

Information about the IPTC standard for data stored in images files can be
obtained from the IPTC's web site: http://www.iptc.org/site/standards.html
